This federal Project Grant award for $315,112 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Arizona State University. The goal of the project is to solve critical calibration and analysis challenges for the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope, which will enable high-precision measurements of the large-scale structure of the universe using 21cm hydrogen intensity mapping. Key efforts include developing new modeling frameworks and analysis pipelines for 21cm cross-correlations, generating improved beam models, implementing radio-frequency interference excision algorithms, and deploying innovative foreground filtering techniques. This 3-year collaborative research project, running from September 2025 to August 2028, aims to advance the capabilities of CHIME to detect the spatial clustering of matter and reveal insights into the nature of dark energy driving the universe's accelerating expansion.
