This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $299,690 from August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2027 to Texas A&M University for research to improve understanding of the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter created in nuclear collisions at high energies. The key products and services to be delivered include: Systematic improvements to the modeling of hadronization, the process by...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Michigan State University to study the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a novel phase of matter that forms at extremely high temperatures or densities. The research, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will use lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations to investigate how heavy quark bound states respond to the quark-gluon plasma medium and the behavior of the strong force at...
This $270,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the development of theoretical models and simulations to improve understanding of the formation and dynamical properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an extreme state of matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Specifically, the project aims to enhance the existing ZPC parton cascade model by...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on the properties of quark-gluon plasma, an extremely high-temperature gas that existed in the early universe and can be briefly produced in laboratory particle collisions. The $240,000 award to the University of Virginia aims to study the theoretical foundations for probing the properties of quark-gluon plasma using measurements of energy...
This $600,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The award will support research led by the principal investigator (PI) at Rutgers, The State University to investigate the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) - a unique state of matter predicted by quantum chromodynamics. The key research objectives are to: Measure jet observables in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron...
This Project Grant award of $360,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at George Washington University to study the properties of three-particle quantum systems using lattice QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) methods. The project aims to improve the theoretical understanding of how strong nuclear forces bind nucleons together in atomic nuclei, by developing new three-body QCD...
This Project Grant award, totaling $200,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship for Virginia Bailey at Georgia State University to study the quark-gluon plasma, a hot and dense nuclear matter, using jet probes from the newly constructed sPHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The research aims to enhance understanding of the...
The National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Nature of Strongly-Interacting Matter Across the QCD Phase Diagram." The grant period runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the grantee will conduct research to increase understanding of major problems in the mathematical and physical sciences, such as...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research and education focused on the study of novel materials with strong interactions between particles. The research aims to develop new theoretical tools to better understand and predict the unusual behaviors of strongly interacting metals, which exhibit phenomena like high-temperature superconductivity that challenge current theories....
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...
