This $255,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund the research activities of Professor Savvas M. Koushiappas at Brown University. The award aims to explore new physics signatures in cosmological observations, focusing on the effects of ultra-light dark matter on the angular momentum content of dark matter halos, new interactions between dark matter and collision-less particles, and the imprints of quantum and/or modified gravity on the growth of structure. This research seeks to address outstanding questions in cosmology, particle physics, and astrophysics, with the goal of discovering and understanding new physical laws. The project also involves training graduate students, presenting public lectures, and developing new STEM-focused courses. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
