This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program in the amount of $170,000 supports research by the California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. to study the properties of the Higgs boson and search for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider using the ATLAS experiment. The award will enable the CSU ATLAS group, which includes researchers at CSU Sacramento and CSU East Bay, to collect and analyze data during LHC Run 3 and prepare for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade. Key activities include measuring Higgs boson couplings, searching for new particles, and contributing to the design, construction, and installation of the ATLAS Inner Tracker Upgrade. The project will also involve undergraduate students in collaborative research, data analysis, and instrumentation testing to support their paths to physics graduate school and careers in science.
