This three-year, $525,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the Large Hadron Collider to address open questions in particle physics beyond the Standard Model. Specifically, the University of Cincinnati will utilize the LHCb detector to study rare decays of heavy quark systems and search for low mass electron and muon pairs where new physics may manifest. The upgraded LHCb detector enables unprecedented data that could reveal dark photons or other new light particles,...
This $130,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research program at the University of Cincinnati to probe the Standard Model of particle physics using the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Key activities under this 3-year award include: Measuring the helicity of W bosons and production of W boson pairs in the forward region to test Standard Model predictions at the energy frontier. The award...
The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded a $599,989 project grant to the University of Cincinnati's Sponsored Research Services division under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070).
