The research aims to better understand the microscopic properties of dark matter and its gravitational effects on...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $398,629 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports collaborative research to systematically predict dynamical signatures of new dark matter physics in galaxies. The researchers will implement various dark matter models in simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and smaller dwarfs, creating a set of...
- This $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds Professor Daniel Boyanovsky's research at the University of Pittsburgh on fundamental non-equilibrium aspects of dark matter and its potential existence in novel materials. The project aims to advance theoretical frameworks for understanding dark matter and dark energy, which account for 95% of the universe's energy and matter content, through the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $396,385 to support a research project titled "RUI: NEW MOLECULAR SYSTEMS FOR PRECISION TESTS OF T-VIOLATION USING ULTRACOLD MOLECULES" at Williams College. The project aims to identify molecules containing heavy metals, such as copper, silver, and gold, that can be used to study fundamental particle physics and the imbalance between matter and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $202,576 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, doing business as Princeton University, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports a collaborative research effort to study how to indirectly test and constrain the properties of dark matter through observations of individual galaxies. Key deliverables include: 1) new, publicly available software modules...
- This $255,000 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), supports the research activities of Professor Savvas M. Koushiappas at Brown University. The funded projects aim to explore the effects of ultra-light dark matter on the angular momentum of galactic systems, investigate new interactions between dark matter and collision-less particles, and search for imprints of quantum...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund the research activities of Professor Vera Gluscevic at the University of Southern California (USC) to advance the discovery of cosmological dark matter. The $400,000 award, effective July 15, 2023 through June 30, 2028, will support Professor Gluscevic's efforts to combine empirical evidence, fundamental theory, and novel computational methods to identify the forces...
- This $177,249 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project led by Messiah University. The project aims to advance experimental searches for ultralight bosonic fields, such as axions and hidden photons, that may constitute dark matter or arise in other physics beyond the Standard Model scenarios. The project involves two international experiments - the Global Network of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $150,000 Project Grant titled "RUI: Theories of Dark Matter and Baryogenesis Confront Experiment" to Williams College, a private liberal arts college in Williamstown, MA. The grant, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, supports research activities conducted by Professor David Tucker-Smith to explore theories of dark matter and matter-antimatter asymmetry, with a focus on understanding how these theories can be tested through existing and planned experiments. The research aims to advance the national interest by promoting the progress of science in understanding the makeup of the universe and the physical laws that govern it. The grant will also provide significant broader impacts through undergraduate involvement, allowing Williams College students to learn important concepts, results, and methods in particle physics and cosmology, as well as develop applicable skills in areas such as computer programming, statistical analysis, manuscript preparation, and oral presentation.
