Project Grant 2514320
- 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 $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...
- 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 awarded a $549,859 Project Grant through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Northwestern University to operate and analyze data from a 10kg liquid-argon scintillating bubble chamber located at Fermilab. The team will characterize the chamber's response to distinguish electron and nuclear recoils below 1 keV, with the goal of advancing novel instrumentation for Dark Matter and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEVNS)...
- 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...
- 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 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 $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the Division of Physics, part of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst to complete the analysis of data collected by the EXO-200 experiment between 2010-2018. The goal is to search for evidence of neutrinoless double-beta decay, which could provide insights into the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The activities will...
- This $660,682 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support the University of Chicago's contribution to the construction, commissioning, and initial data extraction efforts for the PICO-500 dark matter detector. Housed over a mile underground at the SNOLAB facility in Canada, PICO-500 consists of one of the largest bubble chambers ever built and is designed to be highly sensitive to the characteristic interactions expected from...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $950,736 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: THE SEARCH FOR LIGHT DARK MATTER WITH DAMIC" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant will support research to search for light dark matter using the DAMIC (Dark Matter In CCDs) experiment at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. The DAMIC experiment aims...
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 global collaboration of over 20 institutions, providing educational opportunities and advancing specialized science and technology with applications in fields like medicine, nuclear safety, and data science. The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026.
