This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $235,000.00 to the University of Chicago for neutrino physics research. The project aims to elucidate the properties of neutrinos, which are fundamental particles that may hold answers to important open questions in particle physics. The research will leverage the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) experiment at Fermilab and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) to make detailed measurements of neutrino interactions and oscillations. This research seeks to investigate potential evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model, including the possible existence of low-mass sterile neutrino particles. The project will utilize transformative liquid argon time projection chamber detector technology to enable these advanced neutrino physics studies. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026.
