The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded the University of Washington $460,000 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for precision measurements of Higgs boson properties and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model using ATLAS detector data at CERN. The University of Washington group will perform precision measurements of Higgs boson self-coupling and searches for heavy resonances, charged Higgs bosons, and long-lived particles. The award funds detector operations, software and computing development, and upgrades for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider through contributions to the inner tracker system, trigger development, simulation, and analysis infrastructure including artificial intelligence development. A collaborative effort with Tel Aviv University will enhance sensitivity for one of the searches. The award supports the training of undergraduate and graduate students and post-doctoral scholars. Work is performed in Seattle, Washington, with a period of performance through July 31, 2027. The assistance type is a Project Grant. No sub-awards are planned.
