This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $660,000 supports research into nuclear, particle, and weak interaction physics related to extreme conditions in the cosmos from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), key products include modeling how atomic nuclei and elementary particles behave in extreme temperatures and densities found in cosmic events like the Big Bang and stellar collapse. Insights gained will provide understanding of neutrino properties and element synthesis. The research also aims to advance fundamental quantum mechanics to model neutrino interactions and flavor changes in dense matter environments. Additional products include training junior nuclear physicists. The University of California, San Diego will perform the research through its Office of Contract & Grant Administration, with the State of California as the federal sub-awardee.
