- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $700,000 Project Grant to Yale University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the HAYSTAC Axion Dark Matter Experiment - Phase III. This effort aims to detect the theorized axion particle, which could comprise the unobserved "dark matter" that accounts for the majority of the mass in the universe. Key activities include upgrading the HAYSTAC detector system to expand its...
- This Project Grant award of $450,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports collaborative research to improve quantum sensing capabilities for axion dark matter searches through the ADMX-VERA project. The research is aimed at developing novel "haloscopes" that can significantly enhance the search rate for axion dark matter by over 3 orders of magnitude compared to conventional cavity-based systems, focusing on the 2 GHz frequency...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $540,000 to fund the research activities of Professors Hitoshi Murayama and Lawrence J. Hall at the University of California, Berkeley. The research aims to advance fundamental understanding of the laws of physics, with a focus on discoveries enabled by the Large Hadron Collider in Europe, underground experiments in South Dakota, and other global facilities....
- 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 $210,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports collaborative research to develop novel "haloscopes" that will improve the search rate for axion dark matter by more than three orders of magnitude over conventional methods. The research team at the University of Washington aims to establish key preparations for future large-scale axion searches, focusing on advancing quantum sensing techniques 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 $502,990 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for the project "CAREER: UNTANGLING THE PHYSICS OF THE MAGNETIC, MULTI-PHASE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM". The award period runs from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030. This project aims to develop novel computational tools and methodologies to better understand the physics of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award, titled "Collaborative Research: Axion Resonant Interaction Detection Experiment (ARIADNE) - A Continuation Proposal," supports research to detect axions, a hypothetical particle that could explain mysteries about the nature of the universe. The project aims to complete the setup of the ARIADNE experiment, which uses nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to detect potential forces generated by axions between a mass and a helium-3 detector. As part of this research, the grant will provide training for a team of postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students in areas like precision measurement, low-temperature physics, and data analysis. The award has an effective date of August 15, 2025 and a planned completion date of July 31, 2027.
