Project Grant 2514896
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,000 in funding to the University of Texas at Austin over 3 years, from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award will support research to study the nature of dark matter, which accounts for 85% of all matter in the known universe. The research aims to better understand the microscopic properties of dark matter and its gravitational effects on...
- This $177,249 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project led by Messiah University. The project aims to advance experimental searches for ultralight bosonic fields, such as axions and hidden photons, that may constitute dark matter or arise in other physics beyond the Standard Model scenarios. The project involves two international experiments - the Global Network of...
- 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 $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) funds Professor Daniel Boyanovsky's research at the University of Pittsburgh on fundamental non-equilibrium aspects of dark matter and its potential existence in novel materials. The project aims to advance theoretical frameworks for understanding dark matter and dark energy, which account for 95% of the universe's energy and matter content, through the...
- 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 (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $742,503 to Yale University to develop new types of force sensors that may enable detection of dark matter and gravitational forces between microscopic particles. The research team will use arrays of micro- and nano-particles in ultra-high vacuum as sensitive force sensors to search for dark matter and study quantum gravity effects, with the goal of...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $315,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund the research activities of Professor Matthew B. Kleban at New York University, focusing on three key areas: Investigating theories of hypothetical particles called axions to help understand features of the universe, such as dark energy and dark matter....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics awarded a $240,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the California State University Long Beach (CSULB) Research Foundation. The project, titled "RUI: Investigating Phases of Cosmic Matter with Neutron Star Seismology," will use mathematical and computational methods to quantify how neutron star composition affects observables such as gravitational waves. The goal is to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $398,629 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports collaborative research to systematically predict dynamical signatures of new dark matter physics in galaxies. The researchers will implement various dark matter models in simulations of galaxies like the Milky Way and smaller dwarfs, creating a set of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $185,183 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Bucknell University. The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "RUI: BSM-PM: Exotic Physics Searches with Magnetometer Networks" that aims to advance experimental searches for ultralight bosonic fields, such as axions and hidden photons, which may constitute dark matter or arise in other physics scenarios beyond...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $285,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Oklahoma. The grant supports Professor Sinha's research exploring the potential of future gravitational wave detectors and X-ray telescopes to probe the physics of dark matter, with a focus on studying axions and primordial black holes. This work aims to contribute to the fundamental understanding of the most abundant particle in the universe. The project involves postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates, providing critical training for the next generation of physicists. The research findings will be disseminated through public lectures and incorporated into new courses, enhancing the broader impacts of the work.
