The National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) awarded Arizona State University a $270,000 project grant to explore the physics of extreme environments where strong magnetic fields interact with relativistic matter at very high temperatures and densities. The 3-year project, starting September 1, 2025, aims to deepen the understanding of how strong magnetic fields influence the behavior of matter under these extreme conditions, with potential applications in theoretical nuclear and astrophysics. Key research focuses include investigating the influence of strong magnetic fields on the self-energy of fermions, photon and gluon polarization tensors, and vertex functions in relativistic plasmas. The project seeks to advance scientific discovery, train undergraduate and postdoctoral researchers, and support project-based physics education and workforce development.
