The grant supports the base operations of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment as it commences its first science...
- 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...
- 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 $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...
- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $449,999.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The award supports the "Axion Resonant Interaction Detection Experiment" (ARIADNE) project, a collaborative research effort aimed at completing the setup of an experiment to detect axions - a potential form of dark matter. The project will train a team of postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $330,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the period of September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The research project focuses on using quantum mechanics and theoretical physics to better understand the fundamental properties and behaviors of elementary particles, such as neutrinos, in the extreme environments of collapsing stars and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $455,451 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The University of New Mexico for the period August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The grant funds research to detect the Migdal effect for atoms of interest in dark matter searches and evaluate its validity for setting dark matter limits. Researchers will participate in a European experiment using an optical time-projection chamber to image and reconstruct low...
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, a mysterious substance that makes up most of the matter in the universe. The project creates a collaborative research environment involving over 20 global institutions and trains students and researchers in advanced science and technology with applications across fields like medicine, nuclear safety, and data science. The grant will fund this research from Sep 1, 2025 through the ultimate completion date of Aug 31, 2026.
