This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $540,000 to fund the research activities of Professors Hitoshi Murayama and Lawrence J. Hall at the University of California, Berkeley. The research aims to advance fundamental understanding of the laws of physics, with a focus on discoveries enabled by the Large Hadron Collider in Europe, underground experiments in South Dakota, and other global facilities. Specifically, the researchers will study non-perturbative dynamics of strongly coupled gauge theories, anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking, and develop new models related to axions, phase transitions, and other areas. The project is expected to yield major advances in areas spanning particle physics, dark matter, neutrinos, quantum field theories, and cosmology, while also supporting public outreach and training the next generation of researchers. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028.
