Project Grant 2515008
- 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 $299,997 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports fundamental research on the structure of nucleons (protons and neutrons) at Stony Brook University. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Computations of nucleon electromagnetic form factors over a wide range of high momentum to enable comparison with recent experimental data from the Jefferson Lab. This work...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $300,000.00 in funding to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate how quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of matter, combine to form protons and other hadrons. The research project combines advanced theoretical approaches with modern machine learning tools to extract detailed physical information from high-energy particle...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
- 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...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support research at Michigan State University aimed at understanding the fundamental structure of matter through Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (Lattice QCD) simulations. The research will provide critical insights into the properties of protons, neutrons, and mesons by directly modeling the underlying quarks and gluons. This work will complement...
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $499,309.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to advance the understanding of the internal structure of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. The research aims to create a three-dimensional map of how quarks and gluons, the fundamental constituents of matter, move and interact inside nucleons. The project will analyze data from high-precision...
This Project Grant award of $2,350,000 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research into the structure and properties of matter at the quark level. The primary goal is to measure how quarks are distributed within nucleons (protons and neutrons) to better understand quantum chromodynamics, the theory governing the strong nuclear force. Key research activities include investigating the role of antimatter in nucleons, the behavior of quark-gluon plasma at high temperatures, and the orbital motion of quarks. This research will contribute to the education and training of postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduates, as well as outreach efforts to engage the public. The award is held by the University of Illinois, a leading public research institution with extensive experience executing federal contracts and grants across scientific and technological domains.
