The first two programs will investigate the processes of hadronization -...
This $170,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research on the Higgs boson and the search for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the ATLAS experiment. The award funds the research activities of the California State University (CSU) ATLAS group, including principal investigators at CSU Sacramento and CSU East Bay, along with undergraduate student researchers. The key...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, with CFDA number 47.049, provides $354,796 to fund research activities by Professors Ayres Freitas and Adam Leibovich at the University of Pittsburgh. The award supports the development of improved theoretical tools and calculational methods to enable robust interpretation of results from current and future physics experiments at facilities like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and...
This Project Grant award, totaling $200,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award supports a postdoctoral research fellowship for Virginia Bailey at Georgia State University to study the quark-gluon plasma, a hot and dense nuclear matter, using jet probes from the newly constructed sPHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The research aims to enhance understanding of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,874 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to California State University, Stanislaus (CSU Stanislaus) to conduct research on searching for an extended Higgs sector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The project aims to search for additional Higgs bosons that could help explain phenomena not accounted for by the Standard Model of particle physics, such as dark matter and the matter-antimatter...
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...
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...
