Northeastern University received a $700,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded July 15, 2026, with completion anticipated by June 30, 2027. The Barberis-Orimoto-Wood Group at Northeastern will conduct experimental particle physics research analyzing data from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The research leverages data from Run 3 of the LHC—approximately double the statistical power of previous runs—to examine fundamental physics phenomena and investigate physics beyond the Standard Model, with particular focus on leptoquarks and Higgs boson pair production to advance understanding of matter composition and gravitational effects in the universe. In addition to research activities, the funded work includes instrument upgrade efforts for the CMS detector to support operation at the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), positioning the scientific community to benefit from enhanced detector capabilities for decades. The project incorporates workforce development objectives, providing hands-on training opportunities for future scientific and technical personnel through participation in detector upgrade activities and data analysis work.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
