The National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program awarded a $1,500,000 project grant to the University of South Carolina (USC) to conduct research on the strong subatomic force and the structure of matter. The 3-year grant, commencing on Sep 1, 2024, will support USC's experimental studies at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility and Paul Scherrer Institute to investigate the emergence of bound three-quark systems, the properties of dense nuclear matter, and the nature of neutron stars. The research aims to foster new discoveries and advance the understanding of nuclear physics, while also promoting teaching, training, and the development of junior scientists. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
