Project Grant 2443510
- The federal Project Grant award of $375,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to study the 3D structure of atomic nuclei and their constituents, protons and neutrons, to better understand the strong nuclear force. The program will use world-leading electron-scattering facilities at Jefferson Lab in Virginia to conduct experimental studies on the distribution of quarks and gluons within nucleons and nuclei. The key products...
- 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 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $300,000.00 in funding to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate how quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of matter, combine to form protons and other hadrons. The research project combines advanced theoretical approaches with modern machine learning tools to extract detailed physical information from high-energy particle...

- 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, totaling $500,000.00 and awarded on August 15, 2025, supports the study of the charge distribution within protons at Rutgers University's Intermediate Energy Experimental Nuclear Physics Group. The research, funded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), uses electrons and muons to probe the proton and measure its charge distribution and quantum mechanical corrections. The experiments provide training and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $570,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Christopher Newport University (CNU) to support research on the internal structure of protons and neutrons. The research group at CNU will conduct experiments at the Jefferson Laboratory, involving the scattering of polarized electrons from protons and neutrons to measure their electric and magnetic properties. This research aims to further the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support research at Michigan State University aimed at understanding the fundamental structure of matter through Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (Lattice QCD) simulations. The research will provide critical insights into the properties of protons, neutrons, and mesons by directly modeling the underlying quarks and gluons. This work will complement...
- This Project Grant award of $2,350,000 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research into the structure and properties of matter at the quark level. The primary goal is to measure how quarks are distributed within nucleons (protons and neutrons) to better understand quantum chromodynamics, the theory governing the strong nuclear force. Key research activities include investigating the role of antimatter in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
This federal Project Grant award of $499,309.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to advance the understanding of the internal structure of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. The research aims to create a three-dimensional map of how quarks and gluons, the fundamental constituents of matter, move and interact inside nucleons. The project will analyze data from high-precision experiments at the Jefferson Lab and prepare for measurements at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). To interpret the complex datasets, the research applies advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, specifically deep learning and statistical methods, to improve measurement accuracy and quantify uncertainty. The project has broad societal impact, as it will train students in physics and data science, develop reusable data analysis tools, and generate educational resources through workshops and tutorials. The research is expected to be completed by Aug 31, 2030.
