This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support scientific research and educational activities at Bethel University. The primary goals of the $283,845 award, spanning August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, are to:

  1. Conduct searches for new physics, particularly vector-like quark pair production, using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques on data from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. This work aims to advance understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics.

  2. Contribute to the development of upgraded silicon sensors for the CMS High Granularity Calorimeter, which will be critical for future high-luminosity LHC operations.

  3. Engage undergraduate students at Bethel University, Fermilab, and CERN in CMS data analysis and detector hardware projects, providing valuable research experiences.

  4. Develop inquiry-based open data analysis exercises for upper-level physics courses at other universities to further science education.

The award supports Bethel University's expertise in scientific research and its ability to effectively collaborate with leading particle physics facilities and integrate undergraduate students into cutting-edge projects.
