Key activities include developing computational...
- This $1,050,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the Rutgers University Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics Group's research into the structure of the nucleon. Specifically, the funding enables the group to continue experimental nuclear physics research through the MUSE measurement of scattering cross sections of positively and negatively charged electrons and muons from a liquid hydrogen target at the Paul...
- The federal Project Grant award of $375,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to study the 3D structure of atomic nuclei and their constituents, protons and neutrons, to better understand the strong nuclear force. The program will use world-leading electron-scattering facilities at Jefferson Lab in Virginia to conduct experimental studies on the distribution of quarks and gluons within nucleons and nuclei. The key products...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $450,000 project grant to Ohio University to support nuclear physics experiments using the electro-weak probe at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab). The research, led by Principal Investigators Roche and King, aims to investigate the internal structure of protons and neutrons and advance the understanding of fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Washington University located in University City, Missouri. The grant supports research on the properties of exotic nuclei with extreme neutron-to-proton ratios, which are becoming available for experimental study at facilities like the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The research employs the propagator method of quantum mechanics to generate insights into the distribution and capture of neutrons in these exotic nuclei, which is relevant for understanding neutron star physics. The project mentors graduate students and collaborates with experimentalists to analyze nuclear reactions on exotic nuclei, with the goal of elucidating the properties of protons and neutrons in these systems. The research is expected to be completed by August 31, 2027.
