This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $279,914 to a team of researchers from Arizona State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, and West Virginia University. The award supports the development of new techniques to leverage the latest advancements in signal processing, detector technology, and theoretical modeling for the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio telescope. The goal is to solve critical calibration and analysis challenges that will enable high-precision measurements of the large-scale structure of the universe using the 21cm line, independent of other probes. This includes developing new modeling frameworks and analysis pipelines for 21cm cross-correlations, generating improved beam models, implementing new radio-frequency interference excision algorithms, and deploying innovative foreground filtering techniques. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
