- This federal Project Grant award of $499,309.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to advance the understanding of the internal structure of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. The research aims to create a three-dimensional map of how quarks and gluons, the fundamental constituents of matter, move and interact inside nucleons. The project will analyze data from high-precision...
- 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....
- This $190,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on the proton radius puzzle at the University of Michigan. The primary objective is to reassess discrepancies in measurements of the proton charge radius when using electrons versus muons. Key activities include: Conducting simultaneous measurements of elastic electron and muon scattering off the proton, which has not been attempted before,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $570,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Christopher Newport University (CNU) to support research on the internal structure of protons and neutrons. The research group at CNU will conduct experiments at the Jefferson Laboratory, involving the scattering of polarized electrons from protons and neutrons to measure their electric and magnetic properties. This research aims to further the...
- This Project Grant award of $2,350,000 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research into the structure and properties of matter at the quark level. The primary goal is to measure how quarks are distributed within nucleons (protons and neutrons) to better understand quantum chromodynamics, the theory governing the strong nuclear force. Key research activities include investigating the role of antimatter in...
- This $420,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research on the strong interaction responsible for binding protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei. The project, conducted by The Ohio State University, aims to improve quantitative understanding of nuclear structure and reactions, with applications to astrophysics, neutrino experiments, energy, and homeland security. Key activities include...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $500,000.00 and awarded on August 15, 2025, supports the study of the charge distribution within protons at Rutgers University's Intermediate Energy Experimental Nuclear Physics Group. The research, funded by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), uses electrons and muons to probe the proton and measure its charge distribution and quantum mechanical corrections. The experiments provide training and experience for undergraduate and graduate students in international scientific collaborations and state-of-the-art experimental techniques. The goal is to better understand a fundamental property of protons, which make up much of ordinary matter. The award will support the continuation of this experimental nuclear physics research program, with a focus on completing data collection and analysis for the MUSE experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.
