This $152,308 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support Professor Thomas Sommerfeld and his team at Southeastern Louisiana University in modeling temporary molecular anions. The research aims to develop reliable, cost-efficient computational methods to simulate the quantum mechanics of these short-lived negatively charged molecular ions, which play critical roles in numerous natural and technological processes. The project will combine method development with the interpretation of photo-detachment spectroscopy experiments conducted by Dr. Chick Jarrold's group at Indiana University. As a predominantly undergraduate institution located in a rural, low-income region, Southeastern Louisiana University's involvement is expected to provide significant research opportunities and access to infrastructure for disadvantaged students.
