The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Michigan State University to study the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a novel phase of matter that forms at extremely high temperatures or densities. The research, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will use lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations to investigate how heavy quark bound states respond to the quark-gluon plasma medium and the behavior of the strong force at...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $690,000 supports research into quantum transport and hadronization in quark-gluon plasma at Texas A&M University from July 2022 through June 2025. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Principal Investigator Dr. Smith and his team will investigate how the properties of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma and its transition into hadrons emerge from quantum chromodynamics theory. They will employ quantum...
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...
This $270,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the development of theoretical models and simulations to improve understanding of the formation and dynamical properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an extreme state of matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Specifically, the project aims to enhance the existing ZPC parton cascade model by...
