The project aims to improve the theoretical understanding of how strong nuclear forces bind nucleons together in atomic nuclei, by developing new three-body QCD...
- This Project Grant award of $600,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics supports research by Michigan State University to develop new theoretical techniques for predicting the behavior of extended nuclear matter under a wide range of conditions, such as those found in the interiors of stars. The project aims to generalize techniques previously used to describe properties of atomic nuclei at zero temperature to the problem of extended nuclear matter at finite...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $300,000.00 in funding to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate how quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of matter, combine to form protons and other hadrons. The research project combines advanced theoretical approaches with modern machine learning tools to extract detailed physical information from high-energy particle...
- This Project Grant award of $2,350,000 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research into the structure and properties of matter at the quark level. The primary goal is to measure how quarks are distributed within nucleons (protons and neutrons) to better understand quantum chromodynamics, the theory governing the strong nuclear force. Key research activities include investigating the role of antimatter in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $300,000 from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 to the University of Houston System to conduct research on hot and dense strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma. The project aims to improve understanding of the QCD phase transition, equation of state, and jet behavior in extreme conditions through first-principle lattice simulations and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $499,309.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to advance the understanding of the internal structure of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. The research aims to create a three-dimensional map of how quarks and gluons, the fundamental constituents of matter, move and interact inside nucleons. The project will analyze data from high-precision...
This federal Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support research at Michigan State University aimed at understanding the fundamental structure of matter through Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (Lattice QCD) simulations. The research will provide critical insights into the properties of protons, neutrons, and mesons by directly modeling the underlying quarks and gluons. This work will complement experimental efforts at facilities like the Jefferson Lab and the planned Electron-Ion Collider to unveil the mysteries of how matter is built at the most fundamental level. The award has an initial performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
