This $660,682 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support the University of Chicago's contribution to the construction, commissioning, and initial data extraction efforts for the PICO-500 dark matter detector. Housed over a mile underground at the SNOLAB facility in Canada, PICO-500 consists of one of the largest bubble chambers ever built and is designed to be highly sensitive to the characteristic interactions expected from...
The University of Chicago will receive $1.5 million from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct neutrino physics research from September 2022 through August 2025. The university will support the Short-Baseline Neutrino Experiment at Fermilab and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to investigate neutrino properties and oscillations, probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model, and address anomalies...
This $170,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The grant aims to address the question of why evidence of "beyond the Standard Model" particles has not yet been observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and to enable new discoveries by breaking traditional search paradigms and building next-generation pixel detectors for the ATLAS...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $736,406 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study quantum chromodynamics at the Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN. The research aims to advance understanding of how strong force bound states like protons are created and how their dynamics evolve. Key activities include: Measurements comparing hadron production from light...
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 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 $649,435 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a tabletop experiment at the University of Chicago with unprecedented sensitivity to hadronic CP violation. The experiment aims to develop a new approach using an optically-trapped, ultracold gas of the polar molecule francium-223 (223FrAg) to search for the Schiff moment of francium-223. This has the potential to increase sensitivity to nuclear charge distribution deformations by a factor of 1,000 beyond the...
This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of California, Berkeley to study the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The principal investigator will investigate the role of theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics in explaining this asymmetry by calculating the electric dipole moments of protons and neutrons. The project will use a new method...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $200,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports research aimed at enabling the discovery of new fundamental particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and future colliders using innovative pixel detector technologies and search strategies. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing novel trigger,...
This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research activities by the University of Notre Dame's Particle Physics Group. The key products and services to be delivered include: Development of new algorithms for reconstructing the signature of two overlapping photons, which is relevant for both searches for new light particles and precision measurements of the Higgs...
