This $450,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will fund theoretical research and modeling to further the understanding of neutrinos and their role in multi-messenger astrophysics. Key focus areas include the physics of neutrinos from core collapse supernovae, predictions of the diffuse flux of cosmological supernovae, and interpretation of the observed flux of TeV-PeV neutrinos from outside our galaxy. The research aims to develop...
This $450,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) to the University of Kentucky Research Foundation supports three separate experimental programs aimed at exploring fundamental particle physics. The first two programs will investigate how quarks and gluons produced in high energy collisions eventually form the visible particles that make up the universe, providing insights into quantum chromodynamics. The third program...
This $200,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a program of precise experiments with cold neutrons led by the University of Virginia. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year grant include: 1) Continuation of the NAB and PNAB experiments to study neutron beta decay, which aims to shed light on potential deviations from the Standard Model of particle...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will provide $570,000 to the College of William and Mary to conduct precision studies of neutrino oscillations and interactions. The research aims to make detailed measurements of how neutrinos, the most abundant matter particles in the universe, can change from one type to another.
