This $384,956 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at The Ohio State University to quantify birefringence parameters in Antarctic ice. Birefringence causes radio signals from ultra-high energy neutrino interactions to propagate as two rays traveling at different speeds within the ice. Determining the depth-dependent birefringence parameters using measurements from the Askaryan Radio Array station at the South...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under CFDA Program 47.049, provides $181,285 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to expand the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G). The funding will be used to continue building the RNO-G array beyond the seven stations currently installed and operating. Key activities include improving drill reliability and efficiency to rapidly install more stations,...
This Project Grant award, valued at $729,943 and effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The purpose of this award is to develop high-end simulated models, classify cosmic ray flux, and utilize machine learning to categorize background signals in order to optimize the detection of neutrinos by the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G)....
This Project Grant award of $307,943.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research into extremely high energy neutrinos at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. The project aims to enhance IceCube's capability to detect neutrinos with energies above 100 PeV, which could provide insights into the nature and distribution of the most powerful particle accelerators in the universe. The research will focus on...
This $148,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support the expansion of the currently operating Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos. The project aims to further advance the understanding of the most powerful cosmic ray accelerators and explosive events in the universe through...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a two-year, $250,715 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the expansion of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos, which can provide unique insights into the most powerful cosmic ray accelerators and explosive events in the universe. Specifically, the funding will be used to improve drill...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $126,509 Project Grant to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, to expand the currently operating Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G). Through this 2-year award, the University of Nebraska will continue building the RNO-G array beyond the initial 7 stations, improve drill reliability and efficiency to rapidly install new...
This $180,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) to study cosmic ray anisotropy using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The project aims to enhance measurements of the mass composition, energy, and arrival directions of cosmic rays by combining data from various detection methods, including IceTop, IceAct, and the IceCube...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $900,000 in funding to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The project aims to prove the concept for the "Trinity" experiment, an advanced air-shower imaging instrument for detecting ultra-high-energy neutrinos. The award will support the operation and remote monitoring of the existing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to The Ohio State University from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports a program of theoretical work in neutrino astrophysics led by the principal investigator. The research has three main thrusts: studying solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and high-energy neutrinos. The goal is to advance the understanding of nuclear physics processes in astrophysical...
