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's (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) program will provide $1,140,000 to the College of William and Mary to conduct precision studies of neutrino oscillations and interactions. The research aims to make detailed measurements of neutrino properties and behaviors, which could reveal new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The award will support the use of data from the NOvA and MINERvA experiments, as...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research on the interaction of neutrinos with their background particles and with each other in astrophysical environments. The award was made to the University of Wisconsin System's University of Wisconsin - Madison division, operating as Research and Sponsored Programs, with a performance period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The key research...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $177,281 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Florida State University (FSU) to design, construct, and deploy a cryogenic, undoped cesium iodide (CsI) scintillation detector at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The detector, weighing 10 kg, will be used to measure coherent, elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, which could provide insights into the properties of...
