Project Grant 2514318
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of Chicago to continue the XENONnT experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. This experiment uses a 9-ton liquid xenon detector to search for interactions that could help scientists understand the composition of dark matter, which makes up most of the universe's matter. The project supports a...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000.00 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to support the continuation of the XENONnT experiment at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. This experiment uses a nearly 9-ton detector filled with ultra-pure liquid xenon to search for rare interactions that could help scientists understand the composition of dark matter,...
- 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...
- 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 $304,652 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports Drexel University's research on the calibration and development of scintillating bubble chambers for dark matter and neutrino detection. The project involves operation, data analysis, and calibration of 10-kg liquid argon bubble chambers at Fermilab to enable searches for GeV-scale dark matter particles and precision measurements of neutrino...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $742,503 to Yale University to develop new types of force sensors that may enable detection of dark matter and gravitational forces between microscopic particles. The research team will use arrays of micro- and nano-particles in ultra-high vacuum as sensitive force sensors to search for dark matter and study quantum gravity effects, with the goal of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,042,391 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Florida to support the operations of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment. This direct detection dark matter search project aims to develop advanced cryogenic detectors with unprecedented sensitivity to lower-mass dark matter particles. The grant supports the base operations of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment as it commences its first science...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,000 in funding to the University of Texas at Austin over 3 years, from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award will support research to study the nature of dark matter, which accounts for 85% of all matter in the known universe. The research aims to better understand the microscopic properties of dark matter and its gravitational effects on...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, awarded a $285,207 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct collaborative research on constraining dark matter properties using globular clusters and stellar streams. The project aims to develop a self-consistent model of globular cluster formation and evolution in a cosmologically evolving galaxy and use it to predict the properties of globular...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $438,078 Project Grant to New York University (NYU) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the development of a new statistical method to quantify the relationship between dark matter and the observable galaxies in the universe. The researchers will apply this technique to analyze data from the Bright Galaxy Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI)....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $649,999 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The grant supports the "Collaborative Research: NSF-BSF:Continuation of the XENONnT Experiment at LNGS", a project focused on using a 9-ton liquid xenon detector to search for dark matter interactions and advance the understanding of this mysterious cosmic substance. The project creates a collaborative research environment involving over 20 global institutions and trains students and researchers in advanced science and technology relevant to dark matter detection as well as other fields like medicine, nuclear safety, and data science. The grant will fund the continuation of this critical dark matter research effort from Sep 1, 2025 through the ultimate completion date of Aug 31, 2026.
