This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), funds the research activities of Professor Harikrishnan Ramani at the University of Delaware. The project seeks to advance the understanding of fundamental physics by developing innovative methods to detect new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. Specifically, the research focuses on exploring the possibility of detecting elusive, stable particles such as millicharged particles and gluinos. The project employs a three-pronged approach, including searches for fractionally charged particles using precision electric field detectors, novel techniques for identifying hypothetical particles at the Large Hadron Collider, and leveraging astrophysical observations to study dark matter interactions. The total award amount is $225,000, with a performance period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028. The project also contributes to public education and scientific literacy through outreach efforts and a particle physics course designed for non-science majors.
