This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research in theoretical nuclear and neutrino physics at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The principal investigator and graduate students will study the interactions of neutrinos, which are weakly interacting neutral particles produced in astrophysical environments like stars and supernovae. The research aims to develop more accurate models of neutrino transport and oscillations, and explore how these processes impact nucleosynthesis and supernova dynamics. This work aligns with NSF's priority area of multi-messenger astrophysics. No subawards are planned under this grant, which has an award period from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027.
