- 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...
- 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 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $299,690 from August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2027 to Texas A&M University for research to improve understanding of the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter created in nuclear collisions at high energies.

- 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 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...
- 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 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 phases of the Big Bang and high energy nuclear interactions. Key research activities include studying the thermodynamic properties of the QGP at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and using heavy-quark bound states to examine QGP properties at the highest available temperatures at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This 2-year project runs from September 15, 2025 through August 31, 2027.
