The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (operating as Stony Brook University) seven hundred thousand dollars on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct experimental studies of the Higgs mechanism using data from the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The work measures production and decay properties of the Higgs boson and searches for evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model using LHC Run 3 data. The research group will analyze final states associated with Higgs pair production, single Higgs decay to photons, and searches for exotic Higgs decay pathways including reactions producing bottom quarks and tau leptons. The team will measure vector boson scattering processes and contribute to physics-object performance development and detector calibration. The group also participates in detector operations during data-taking periods and in upgrades for the high-luminosity tracking system and liquid argon calorimeter. Performance occurs in Stony Brook, New York. The award period runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027, with $700,000 obligated. No sub-awards are planned. The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York serves as the prime recipient; Stony Brook University is the ultimate executing institution.
