This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $450,000 to New York University (NYU) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award will support the university's research to test the hypothesis that ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are produced in binary neutron star mergers. Key objectives include developing tools to exploit UHECR composition data from the Pierre Auger Observatory,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $360,405 to the University of New Mexico to develop AI/ML-based computational tools that enable novel searches for the physical origin and properties of the invisible elements that make up the cosmos. The project aims to determine whether neutrinos have nonstandard interactions that drive cosmic expansion and the growth of large-scale structure. It...
This $500,000 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the participation of U.S. scientists in the LHCB experiment at CERN. The grant funds facility operations, maintenance, and computing support to enable research that explores "beyond the Standard Model physics" and aims to identify new phenomena that could reveal the existence of new particles or forces. The award...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $652,708 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This 3-year grant supports advanced computer simulations that model the acceleration of particles at the microscopic level to study the processes that can accelerate ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in active galactic...
This Project Grant award of $197,658, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), funds research and educational activities at the University of South Alabama (USA). The key products and services delivered through this award include: Continued support for the USA's participation in the NOVA experiment, a leading particle physics research project on the intensity frontier. This will...
This $600,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The award will support research led by the principal investigator (PI) at Rutgers, The State University to investigate the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) - a unique state of matter predicted by quantum chromodynamics. The key research objectives are to: Measure jet observables in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program provides $200,000.00 in funding to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac to support research on probing low mass final states in proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The key objectives of this 5-year award, effective April 1, 2025, are to: 1) develop new algorithms for reconstructing the signatures of new light particles, such as...
This Project Grant award of $100,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds the research activities of Professor Neil Christensen at Illinois State University. The research aims to advance the "constructive" approach for calculating scattering amplitudes, potentially replacing Feynman diagrams, in order to increase the efficiency and accuracy of background calculations for identifying new physics signals at the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), is providing $270,310 from Sep 1, 2023 to Aug 31, 2026 to conduct collaborative research on the physics and electromagnetic counterparts of neutrino blazars. The investigators will use advanced computer simulations to study these powerful cosmic events where jets shoot out from the vicinity of supermassive black holes, in order to unlock the secrets of these...
