The National Science Foundation awarded Temple University a $360,000 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research on "HARD SCATTERING PROCESSES IN QCD" from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant aims to promote progress in mathematical and physical sciences by increasing scientific knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems facing the nation. Temple University will leverage the funding to conduct research...
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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on the properties of quark-gluon plasma, an extremely high-temperature gas that existed in the early universe and can be briefly produced in laboratory particle collisions. The $240,000 award to the University of Virginia aims to study the theoretical foundations for probing the properties of quark-gluon plasma using measurements of energy...
This Project Grant award of $360,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at George Washington University to study the properties of three-particle quantum systems using lattice QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) methods. The project aims to improve the theoretical understanding of how strong nuclear forces bind nucleons together in atomic nuclei, by developing new three-body QCD...
This $239,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to advance theoretical and phenomenological studies of the three-dimensional momentum and spin structure of the nucleon in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The primary objectives are to discover the internal landscape of the nucleon, provide analysis and explanation of existing data, and make predictions for future measurements at...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $299,690 from August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2027 to Texas A&M University for research to improve understanding of the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter created in nuclear collisions at high energies. The key products and services to be delivered include: Systematic improvements to the modeling of hadronization, the process by...
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 $299,997 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports fundamental research on the structure of nucleons (protons and neutrons) at Stony Brook University. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Computations of nucleon electromagnetic form factors over a wide range of high momentum to enable comparison with recent experimental data from the Jefferson Lab. This work...
