This $357,110.00 Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant supports research to develop methods for calculating high-order three-loop spin-independent corrections to the energy levels of muonium and positronium in high-precision quantum electrodynamics. The research also aims to calculate the two-loop electron mass as a matrix element of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor and investigate the properties of one-loop matrix elements of the energy-momentum tensor trace in loosely bound multiscale states like muonic hydrogen. The grant recipient is the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kentucky that specializes in executing federal research contracts and grants across scientific and technological domains. The research results will be used to support teaching in graduate courses and advance the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, as well as comparisons with processes in nuclear and particle physics.
