- The federal Project Grant award of $375,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to study the 3D structure of atomic nuclei and their constituents, protons and neutrons, to better understand the strong nuclear force. The program will use world-leading electron-scattering facilities at Jefferson Lab in Virginia to conduct experimental studies on the distribution of quarks and gluons within nucleons and nuclei. The key products...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $207,997 Project Grant to Appalachian State University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports a collaborative research effort to conduct experimental studies of highly charged ions using an electron beam ion trap. The research aims to precisely measure nuclear charge radii, quantum electrodynamic effects, and other properties to test predictions of the Standard Model and search for evidence of physics...
- This $420,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research on the strong interaction responsible for binding protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei. The project, conducted by The Ohio State University, aims to improve quantitative understanding of nuclear structure and reactions, with applications to astrophysics, neutrino experiments, energy, and homeland security. Key activities include...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $330,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Trustees of Indiana University (Indiana University) to provide theoretical research and analytical models needed to support precision neutrino physics experiments. The research focuses on developing improved descriptions of neutrino-nucleus interactions, particularly the nucleon axial form factor which is crucial for accurately modeling neutrino...
- 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 $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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $450,000 project grant to Ohio University to support nuclear physics experiments using the electro-weak probe at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab). The research, led by Principal Investigators Roche and King, aims to investigate the internal structure of protons and neutrons and advance the understanding of fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model. The project involves analyzing data from the completed NPS-RG1A experiment at JLab and preparing for the upcoming MOLLER experiment, while also exploring the feasibility of a streaming readout system for future high-data-rate experiments. This research program will train the next generation of scientists and engage the public through STEM education initiatives for high school students. The project will run from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028.
