The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $207,997 Project Grant to Appalachian State University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports a collaborative research effort to conduct experimental studies of highly charged ions using an electron beam ion trap. The research aims to precisely measure nuclear charge radii, quantum electrodynamic effects, and other properties to test predictions of the Standard Model and search for evidence of physics...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant Award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), will provide $130,000 to the University of Cincinnati to support a research program that leverages the capabilities of the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The key objectives are to probe Standard Model predictions, potentially reveal evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model, and make the first measurements of the helicity of...
This $1,500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at the University of South Carolina (USC) to study the strong nuclear force and the substructure of matter. The key products and services to be delivered include: Experimental investigations at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLAB) in Virginia and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland to probe the...
This Project Grant award of $197,658, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), funds research and educational activities at the University of South Alabama (USA).

This will...
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...
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 $295,792 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to precisely measure the strength of a weak optical interaction in atomic cesium, which is influenced by the weak nuclear force. The goal is to improve the precision of the electroweak mixing angle measurement, testing the Standard Model of particle physics and potentially discriminating between Beyond Standard Model theories. The project...
This $450,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will fund theoretical research and modeling to further the understanding of neutrinos and their role in multi-messenger astrophysics. Key focus areas include the physics of neutrinos from core collapse supernovae, predictions of the diffuse flux of cosmological supernovae, and interpretation of the observed flux of TeV-PeV neutrinos from outside our galaxy. The research aims to develop...
