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 Project Grant award, totaling $310,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of this 3-year project, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, is to advance the understanding of the nonperturbative properties of hadrons (protons and neutrons) within the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The theoretical research supported by this grant focuses on investigating...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $565,000 Project Grant to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research advancing the understanding of the quark-gluon structure of the fundamental building blocks of the atomic nucleus - protons, neutrons, pions, and kaons. The award, funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has two primary goals: 1) to deepen the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) understanding of pions and kaons, and 2) to provide...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $193,628 to Lebanon Valley College is focused on advancing the understanding of hadronic structure through spin observables. The key products to be delivered include: Performing Bayesian Monte Carlo global analyses of data from various particle physics experiments to probe the 3-dimensional motion of partons (quarks and gluons) inside hadrons and how the proton's...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $301,810 to Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas to support the mentoring of undergraduate students as researchers and preparing them for graduate school and/or industry. Through this 3-year award, 2-3 undergraduate students per summer will work onsite at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility to assist in hardware and software projects for ongoing...
This $145,862 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Physics will fund research activities led by Professor Kieran Holland at the University of the Pacific. The research aims to develop improved lattice actions for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, Professor Holland will work on parametrizing an improved lattice action for pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory, which can serve as a testbed and have potential...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant, under CFDA Program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $252,000 over 3 years to support physics research and education activities at Siena College. The funding supports 3 main efforts: Searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, including probing for baryon number violating decays of the top quark and indirect detection of dark matter particles using the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant to Lebanon Valley College under the agency's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to study theoretical problems in physics and mathematics related to quantum advantage. The 3-year grant supports implementation of a resource theory framework to analyze invertible free operations, including local unitary transformations, permutations of subsystems, and matchgates, in order to probe multiparticle quantum...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $736,406 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study quantum chromodynamics at the Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN.
