This $450,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at the University of Notre Dame aimed at improving the precision of ab initio nuclear structure calculations. The goal is to develop new computational methods that can more accurately model nuclear many-body interactions, enabling more sensitive searches for signatures of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The five-year project focuses on advancing the in-medium similarity renormalization group (IMSRG) technique to better account for three-particle nuclear interactions, providing the precise theoretical predictions needed to interpret experimental measurements for new physics discoveries. No sub-awards are planned under this award.
