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 $239,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to advance theoretical and phenomenological studies of the three-dimensional momentum and spin structure of the nucleon in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The primary objectives are to discover the internal landscape of the nucleon, provide analysis and explanation of existing data, and make predictions for future measurements at...
- This $399,968 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research into the nature of quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter that existed in the early universe. The principal investigator and her team at Lehigh University will study the properties of this plasma by analyzing the behavior of high-energy particle jets that pass through it. The research aims to advance the field's understanding of quantum...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $100,000 to George Washington University to conduct theoretical studies of electromagnetic radiation effects during electron-nucleus collisions. The research aims to develop new methodologies for relating the energy and momenta of collision products to the intrinsic properties of fundamental particles like quarks and hadrons. This will provide scientific guidance for future...
- This $1,050,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the Rutgers University Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics Group's research into the structure of the nucleon. Specifically, the funding enables the group to continue experimental nuclear physics research through the MUSE measurement of scattering cross sections of positively and negatively charged electrons and muons from a liquid hydrogen target at the Paul...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $301,810 to Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas to support the mentoring of undergraduate students as researchers and preparing them for graduate school and/or industry. Through this 3-year award, 2-3 undergraduate students per summer will work onsite at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility to assist in hardware and software projects for ongoing...
This federal Project Grant award of $299,972 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental nuclear physics research and education at the University of Connecticut (UConn) related to the structure of nuclear matter. Specifically, the UConn research team will participate in the GlueX experiment at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility to study the arrangement and behavior of gluons, the force-carrying particles that bind quarks within protons and neutrons. This research aims to provide new insights into the "Standard Model" description of nuclear physics by exploring the excitation of gluons within stable nuclear matter through photon-based spectroscopy experiments. A key focus is the potential discovery of exotic "hybrid" mesons that could yield novel information about gluon configurations. UConn is responsible for providing the polarized photon source used in the GlueX experiments over the 3-year award period from September 2025 through August 2028.
