Project Grant 2514992
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Michigan State University to study the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a novel phase of matter that forms at extremely high temperatures or densities. The research, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will use lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations to investigate how heavy quark bound states respond to the quark-gluon plasma medium and the behavior of the strong force at...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $690,000 supports research into quantum transport and hadronization in quark-gluon plasma at Texas A&M University from July 2022 through June 2025. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), Principal Investigator Dr. Smith and his team will investigate how the properties of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma and its transition into hadrons emerge from quantum chromodynamics theory. They will employ quantum...
- This $270,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the development of theoretical models and simulations to improve understanding of the formation and dynamical properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an extreme state of matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Specifically, the project aims to enhance the existing ZPC parton cascade model by...
- This federal Project Grant award of $230,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical research to analyze the properties of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the transition from QGP to hadrons. The research aims to unravel the microscopic mechanisms of this transition by evaluating in-medium correlation functions using quantum many-body theory. The project will be carried out by Texas A&M University from...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $300,000 from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 to the University of Houston System to conduct research on hot and dense strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma. The project aims to improve understanding of the QCD phase transition, equation of state, and jet behavior in extreme conditions through first-principle lattice simulations and...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $700,000 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct experimental studies of the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram. The primary goal is to achieve a better understanding of the nature of matter governed by strong force interactions, which will provide insights into the early...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $256,404.00 to Duke University to conduct research on the quantum description of dynamical processes in isolated quantum systems, utilizing heavy ion collisions as a prototype. The two-pronged research approach includes: (i) studying the formation of a thermal gluon plasma through exact numerical simulations, and (ii) modeling the decay process of the...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on the properties of quark-gluon plasma, an extremely high-temperature gas that existed in the early universe and can be briefly produced in laboratory particle collisions. The $240,000 award to the University of Virginia aims to study the theoretical foundations for probing the properties of quark-gluon plasma using measurements of energy...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $200,000.00 in funding to Indiana University to study novel examples of quantum groups from analytical, algebraic, and topological perspectives. The research aims to advance understanding of quantum symmetry, which has important applications in areas such as operator algebras, quantum field theory, and condensed matter physics. The project will contribute to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the Trustees of Indiana University for the project "Quantum Transport in Hot QCD Matter". The project aims to investigate quantum transport effects in quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter that existed in the early universe, through advanced simulations and experimental data analysis. The key objectives are to study the chiral magnetic effect and angular momentum transport and its associated spin polarization/alignment effects. The project will leverage state-of-the-art quantum transport simulations, Bayesian inference, machine learning, and other advanced analysis tools. It also supports the mentoring and training of graduate and undergraduate students, as well as outreach activities to disseminate research findings to the broader public. The project period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
