Project Grant 2513665
- This $449,946 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support research at Stanford University and the University of Washington to develop a novel axion detector called a haloscope. The haloscope is expected to improve the scan rate of axion dark matter experiments by more than three orders of magnitude at frequencies between 4-7 GHz. Researchers will fabricate and test a full-sized science-grade cavity under cryogenic conditions in...
- This Project Grant award of $450,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports collaborative research to improve quantum sensing capabilities for axion dark matter searches through the ADMX-VERA project. The research is aimed at developing novel "haloscopes" that can significantly enhance the search rate for axion dark matter by over 3 orders of magnitude compared to conventional cavity-based systems, focusing on the 2 GHz frequency...
- This $190,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of novel cavity haloscopes by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Washington to improve the scan rate of axion dark matter experiments by more than three orders of magnitude at frequencies between 4-7 GHz. The researchers will fabricate and test a full-sized science-grade cavity in an existing 250mK testbed to demonstrate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $700,000 Project Grant to Yale University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the HAYSTAC Axion Dark Matter Experiment - Phase III. This effort aims to detect the theorized axion particle, which could comprise the unobserved "dark matter" that accounts for the majority of the mass in the universe. Key activities include upgrading the HAYSTAC detector system to expand its...
- This $177,249 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project led by Messiah University. The project aims to advance experimental searches for ultralight bosonic fields, such as axions and hidden photons, that may constitute dark matter or arise in other physics beyond the Standard Model scenarios. The project involves two international experiments - the Global Network of...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $300,001.00 and funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research effort focused on exotic physics searches using magnetometer networks. The project, led by California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc., aims to advance experimental searches for ultralight bosonic fields such as axions and hidden photons that may constitute dark matter or arise in scenarios...
- This three-year, $449,837 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of optomechanical dark matter detectors at the University of Arizona from November 2022 through October 2025. The award supports work under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding in these fields. Specifically, the project will join experimental and theoretical researchers to explore detection of ultralight "dark...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "HAYSTAC POST-INFLATION - THE CURRENT SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE, BASED ON ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS, INDICATES THAT THE TOTAL MASS CONSISTS OF...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant to Yale University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant supports collaborative research through the Haloscope at Yale Sensitive to Cold (Dark Matter) (HAYSTAC) experiment, which aims to detect dark matter in the form of axion particles. The research seeks to advance scientific understanding of the dominant form of matter in the universe, which is believed to be dark...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,050,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Washington. The grant supports research at the University of Washington's gravity laboratory (E?T-WASH group) to probe fundamental physics through precision gravitational experiments. Specific activities include: Testing the equivalence principle by conducting highly sensitive laboratory tests to search for deviations from general...
This $210,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports collaborative research to develop novel "haloscopes" that will improve the search rate for axion dark matter by more than three orders of magnitude over conventional methods. The research team at the University of Washington aims to establish key preparations for future large-scale axion searches, focusing on advancing quantum sensing techniques and geometries that decouple the resonant frequency and detector volume. This work addresses a critical sensitivity gap in the search for axion dark matter, which could have significant implications for fields like cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics. The award period extends from August 2025 to July 2027.
