This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $150,000 in funding to Lawrence Technological University from August 15, 2023, through July 31, 2026. The research, led by Professor Bhubanjyoti Bhattacharya, aims to gain further insight into charge-parity (CP) violation in theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. This work may help resolve the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, a longstanding puzzle. The research will employ model-independent techniques to compare data with theory, identify deviations from the Standard Model, and develop new physics models to address these tensions. Undergraduate students at Lawrence Tech will participate in this cutting-edge computational research, gaining valuable skills and contributing to the future American workforce in particle physics.
