This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant, under CFDA Program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $252,000 over 3 years to support physics research and education activities at Siena College. The funding supports 3 main efforts:

  1. Searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, including probing for baryon number violating decays of the top quark and indirect detection of dark matter particles using the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This work primarily involves undergraduate student researchers.

  2. Contributions to CMS open data preservation and access initiatives, including organizing workshops to teach others how to analyze the datasets.

  3. Outreach and educational programs, such as building Peltier-powered cloud chambers for high schools, developing Python-based computational exercises, and hosting a summer internship program for underrepresented minority undergraduates to work with CMS upgrade efforts.

This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and promote STEM education and training.
