The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,500,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant provides facility operations, maintenance, and computing support to enable the participation of U.S. scientists in the LHCb experiment at CERN, the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. The goal is to support research aimed at identifying new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics by examining the properties of hadrons containing B or C quarks. The award will fund the NSF-supported groups' share of common items necessary for the experiment, maintenance and operations support for U.S.-delivered components, co-location of an LHCb Tier-2 computing facility, and R&D to optimize the operation of the experiment. The award period is from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027.
