This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of California, Berkeley to study the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The principal investigator will investigate the role of theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics in explaining this asymmetry by calculating the electric dipole moments of protons and neutrons. The project will use a new method...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $450,000 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to support three experimental programs investigating fundamental particle physics. The first two programs will study how quarks and gluons produced in high-energy collisions form new particles, providing insights into quantum chromodynamics (QCD) - the theory of the strong force. The third program aims...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $400,000 to support new research at the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The award will fund the development of an innovative rare pion decay spectrometer at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. The research aims to provide important tests of the Standard Model of particle physics and searches for unknown particles and interactions, with...
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to conduct a precise test of the Standard Model of particle physics. The project will measure the weak charge of the electron at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Virginia, which could reveal evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Key activities funded include construction and installation of beam monitoring...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $182,900 to the College of William & Mary to support the "TESTING THE STANDARD MODEL WITH PARITY-VIOLATING ELECTRON SCATTERING" research project. The award will fund the construction and commissioning of components for the particle detection system and the development of particle-tracking software to be used in the Moller experiment's data...
This Project Grant award of $310,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical research to advance the understanding of hadron structure and properties within the framework of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The research, conducted by the University of Connecticut, aims to establish the foundations for describing the internal dynamics of quarks within hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. The outcomes will provide...
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 $255,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the theoretical particle physics research activities of Professor Peisi Huang at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The research aims to advance understanding of new physics beyond the current standard model, focusing on three key areas: proposing new formation mechanisms and probes for primordial black holes, investigating mechanisms for the...
