Project Grant 2209486

This three-year, $500,480 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support Regis University's continued involvement in fundamental particle physics experiments measuring muon properties. The grant will enable Regis University researchers to participate substantially in completing the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab and developing the MuONE experiment at CERN. Both experiments aim to test predictions of the Standard Model by measuring the anomalous magnetic moment of muons with improved precision. Regis University will operate fiber harp beam monitoring detectors and develop Monte Carlo simulations for Muon g-2. Researchers will also contribute to the MuONE technical proposal and initial physics data collection, designing detector components. The funding will provide research opportunities for Regis University physics students, developing their laboratory, data analysis, and computing skills while mentored on the muon experiments. The work will help reduce uncertainties limiting interpretation of muon anomalous magnetic moment results.
