The research aims to develop...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a two-year, $250,715 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the expansion of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos, which can provide unique insights into the most powerful cosmic ray accelerators and explosive events in the universe. Specifically, the funding will be used to improve drill...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $697,645 project grant to the University of Chicago under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: WOU-MMA: NEW ADVANCES TO ENABLE MULTI-MESSENGER NEUTRINO ASTROPHYSICS WITH THE RADIO NEUTRINO OBSERVATORY IN GREENLAND" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The research aims to advance multi-messenger neutrino astrophysics through new capabilities...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to The Ohio State University from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports a program of theoretical work in neutrino astrophysics led by the principal investigator. The research has three main thrusts: studying solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and high-energy neutrinos. The goal is to advance the understanding of nuclear physics processes in astrophysical...
- This $120,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports fundamental research on gravitational astrophysics and computational methods to advance scientific understanding of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The award will fund a series of research projects at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) focused on developing new...
- This $301,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on neutron stars and gravitational waves. The main research activities include searches for continuous gravitational waves from young neutron stars, including R-mode oscillations of known pulsars and searches of supernova remnants for non-pulsing neutron stars. The award also contributes to searches for other signals like neutron star...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $480,000 Project Grant to the Trustees of Boston University to support research on the fundamental nature of neutrinos. Through this grant under the NSF Division of Physics' Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the university will implement major enhancements to the world-leading KamLAND-Zen neutrino detection experiment to search for evidence of neutrinos being their own antiparticles, a hypothetical property known as...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,995 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) grant program to San Francisco State University (SFSU) to conduct research and education related to the GRAND (Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection) observatory. The three-year project aims to study ultra-high-energy neutrinos and their potential to address questions about dark matter, new particles and interactions, and fundamental symmetries. Key activities include developing machine learning techniques for detecting and analyzing neutrino signals, implementing models for reconstructing air showers, and enhancing educational programs at SFSU, which is designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution. The award will provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate student participation in this cutting-edge research to advance multi-messenger astronomy.
