This $450,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will fund theoretical research and modeling to further the understanding of neutrinos and their role in multi-messenger astrophysics. Key focus areas include the physics of neutrinos from core collapse supernovae, predictions of the diffuse flux of cosmological supernovae, and interpretation of the observed flux of TeV-PeV neutrinos from outside our galaxy. The research aims to develop...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will provide $570,000 to the College of William and Mary to conduct precision studies of neutrino oscillations and interactions. The research aims to make detailed measurements of how neutrinos, the most abundant matter particles in the universe, can change from one type to another. This is a promising approach to look for new physics beyond the Standard Model of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $550,000 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
