The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded a $179,319 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The grant supports the development of highly-optimized software to evaluate baryon sources and sinks on modern GPU-accelerated supercomputer systems for lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) calculations. This work will also develop...
This $310,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to advance the theoretical understanding of hadron structure within the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The primary objectives are to investigate the nonperturbative properties of hadrons, including form factors, parton distribution functions, and generalized parton distributions, which serve as powerful tools for describing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) on mean-field and singular limits of deterministic and stochastic interacting particle systems. The $187,382 award, with a performance period from July 1, 2023 to May 31, 2025, aims to achieve a substantial reduction in computational complexity for modeling the behavior of large numbers of interacting particles,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research focused on understanding the subatomic structure of nucleons, which make up the atomic nucleus. The $404,999 award to Temple University-Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education will fund the development of improved theoretical frameworks for extracting key properties of nucleons, like the transversity parton distribution and tensor charge,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $565,000 Project Grant to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research advancing the understanding of the quark-gluon structure of the fundamental building blocks of the atomic nucleus - protons, neutrons, pions, and kaons. The award, funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has two primary goals: 1) to deepen the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) understanding of pions and kaons, and 2) to provide...
This Project Grant award, valued at $270,611, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The funding supports three separate experimental programs aimed at exploring the fundamental structure of the universe through high-energy particle collision studies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The first two programs will investigate how quarks and gluons produced in...
The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded $244,323 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Carnegie Mellon University from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The award will support research applying descriptive set-theoretic methods to examine the structure of definable graphs, which often arise in topological dynamics, ergodic theory, and have interactions with finite combinatorics, graph limits, probability, and...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $174,848, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award supports the fundamental physics research activities of Professors Ayres Freitas and Adam Leibovich at the University of Pittsburgh. The funded research aims to develop advanced theoretical tools and computational methods to enable robust interpretation of results from current and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $210,000 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds research on discrete random and pseudorandom structures. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing...
