This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $450,000 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to support three experimental programs investigating fundamental particle physics. The first two programs will study how quarks and gluons produced in high-energy collisions form new particles, providing insights into quantum chromodynamics (QCD) - the theory of the strong force. The third program aims...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to conduct a precise test of the Standard Model of particle physics. The project will measure the weak charge of the electron at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Virginia, which could reveal evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Key activities funded include construction and installation of beam monitoring...
This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of California, Berkeley to study the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The principal investigator will investigate the role of theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics in explaining this asymmetry by calculating the electric dipole moments of protons and neutrons. The project will use a new method...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $565,000 Project Grant to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research advancing the understanding of the quark-gluon structure of the fundamental building blocks of the atomic nucleus - protons, neutrons, pions, and kaons. The award, funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has two primary goals: 1) to deepen the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) understanding of pions and kaons, and 2) to provide...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $1,100,000 in funding to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to conduct high energy physics research at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The research focuses on searching for new particles, studying Higgs boson decays, making precision measurements of Standard Model processes, and...
This $500,000 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the participation of U.S. scientists in the LHCB experiment at CERN. The grant funds facility operations, maintenance, and computing support to enable research that explores "beyond the Standard Model physics" and aims to identify new phenomena that could reveal the existence of new particles or forces. The award...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics has awarded a $540,000 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the period of September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. This grant, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research into understanding anomalies observed in the decays of B-quarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The key objectives of the project are to: Perform novel data-driven...
This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a new research group at Northern Illinois University (NIU) to conduct physics research on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The award will fund two key activities: 1) Extending the ATLAS search program for physics beyond the Standard Model, including a novel vector-like quark search and analysis of heavy vector resonances, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $150,000 in funding to Lawrence Technological University from August 15, 2023, through July 31, 2026. The research, led by Professor Bhubanjyoti Bhattacharya, aims to gain further insight into charge-parity (CP) violation in theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. This work may help resolve the matter-antimatter...
