- This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of California, Berkeley to study the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The principal investigator will investigate the role of theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics in explaining this asymmetry by calculating the electric dipole moments of protons and neutrons. The project will use a new method...
- This $200,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of Chicago focused on enabling the discovery of new fundamental particles through novel search strategies and cutting-edge pixel detector development for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The research program seeks to explore scenarios with long-lived particles and lay the groundwork for future...
This $299,936 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will support the development of an innovative approach to efficiently quantify the uncertainties associated with particle physics simulation models. The project, led by the University of Cincinnati, aims to incorporate this new uncertainty framework into the widely-used PYTHIA event generator software. This will enable the particle physics community to more robustly analyze upcoming data from experiments like the Large Hadron Collider, as well as support work in neutrino and nuclear physics. The project will provide comprehensive documentation and outreach materials to facilitate adoption of the new uncertainty quantification methods. No sub-awards are planned under this 3-year grant, which runs from August 2024 through July 2027.
