This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $373,690 to Yale University to develop new techniques for mapping the universe's dark energy using radio observations of hydrogen gas from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope. The key objectives are to: 1) Reduce foreground contamination in CHIME data by an order of magnitude to enable high-precision measurements of the large-scale structure of the universe using the 21cm hydrogen line; 2) Develop new modeling frameworks and analysis pipelines for 21cm cross-correlations; 3) Improve beam models and radio-frequency interference excision algorithms; and 4) Deploy innovative foreground filtering techniques. This project aims to advance the capabilities of CHIME to probe the nature of dark energy, a critical unsolved problem in cosmology, and expand public outreach programs to teach students about astronomy and scientific thinking. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2028.
