This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on the properties of quark-gluon plasma, an extremely high-temperature gas that existed in the early universe and can be briefly produced in laboratory particle collisions. The $240,000 award to the University of Virginia aims to study the theoretical foundations for probing the properties of quark-gluon plasma using measurements of energy...
This $239,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to advance theoretical and phenomenological studies of the three-dimensional momentum and spin structure of the nucleon in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The primary objectives are to discover the internal landscape of the nucleon, provide analysis and explanation of existing data, and make predictions for future measurements at...
This $270,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the development of theoretical models and simulations to improve understanding of the formation and dynamical properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an extreme state of matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Specifically, the project aims to enhance the existing ZPC parton cascade model by...
This Project Grant award, worth $200,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports a research project led by Dr. Zack Hall at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, under the mentorship of Dr. Andre Walker-Loud, to conduct non-perturbative calculations of quantum electrodynamic corrections to the nucleon axial coupling, which is critical for determining nuclear neutron beta decay rates. The...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Michigan State University to study the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a novel phase of matter that forms at extremely high temperatures or densities. The research, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will use lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations to investigate how heavy quark bound states respond to the quark-gluon plasma medium and the behavior of the strong force at...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research and education focused on the study of novel materials with strong interactions between particles. The research aims to develop new theoretical tools to better understand and predict the unusual behaviors of strongly interacting metals, which exhibit phenomena like high-temperature superconductivity that challenge current theories....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $375,000 to the University of South Carolina to conduct experimental studies on the 3D structure of atomic nuclei and their constituents, such as protons and neutrons. The research aims to unravel the mysteries of the strong nuclear force that binds these particles and generates their mass. The work will utilize electron-scattering facilities at...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $690,000 supports research into quantum transport and hadronization in quark-gluon plasma at Texas A&M University from July 2022 through June 2025. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Principal Investigator Dr. Smith and his team will investigate how the properties of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma and its transition into hadrons emerge from quantum chromodynamics theory. They will employ quantum...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $565,000 Project Grant to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research advancing the understanding of the quark-gluon structure of the fundamental building blocks of the atomic nucleus - protons, neutrons, pions, and kaons. The award, funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has two primary goals: 1) to deepen the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) understanding of pions and kaons, and 2) to provide...
This $360,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Physics supports fundamental research and graduate student training in the frontiers of cold atom theory and ultracold gases. The three-year award, effective August 1, 2024, is designed to expand the range of quantum mechanics that can be studied through cold gas experiments, with the goal of applying this knowledge to develop new quantum materials and technologies. The research program, organized around...
