This $170,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to enable discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The primary objectives are to address why no evidence of "beyond the Standard Model" particles has been detected thus far, and to enhance the capabilities of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC through upgrades to the pixel detector and improved tracking. The research funded under this award will push the boundaries of the ATLAS experiment, ensuring high-quality science at the upcoming High Luminosity LHC. The broader impacts include training students and postdocs, sharing data analysis techniques and instrumentation with the broader community, and inspiring the next generation of scientists through diversity, equity, and inclusion focused outreach programs. This grant reflects NSF's mission to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and advance knowledge in mathematical and physical sciences.
