The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $700,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Physics. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in these fields. The three-year award will support research into diagnosing astrophysical plasmas using laser-driven nucleosynthesis in far-from-equilibrium plasmas. The University of Texas at Austin will utilize $700K in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $209,885 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of West Georgia. The goal of this three-year research project is to better define the relative contributions of the slow (S-) and rapid (R-) neutron-capture processes to the cosmic abundances of the trans-iron elements. The investigators will measure infrared and optical spectra of six neutron-capture elements in a diverse sample of planetary...
