The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $330,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the period of September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The research project focuses on using quantum mechanics and theoretical physics to better understand the fundamental properties and behaviors of elementary particles, such as neutrinos, in the extreme environments of collapsing stars and the early universe. The research aims to (1) improve the understanding of how neutrinos interact with atomic nuclei and affect the evolution of the early universe, star collapse, and the production of elements and black holes, and (2) use neutrinos as a portal to new and unknown physics. The theoretical calculations and research performed under this grant are expected to train the next generation of physicists and astrophysicists.
