RUI: Physics with the L3 Detector at LEP

两名教员、一名研究助理和本科生将在瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）进行一项实验。该实验涉及一个大型探测器（称为L3），由来自世界各地的300名物理学家合作建造。L3位于欧洲核子研究中心目前正在建设的新的电子-正电子对撞束设施。该实验的目的是对目前被称为“标准模型”的基本粒子理论进行精确测试。联合学院集团将对探测器有明确的责任。介绍了两种介子系统监测仪的设计、制造和实现方法：1)漂移速度监测仪；2)激光准直装置的读数。这项工作将涉及约15名本科生参与联合学院和校外的前沿研究。

Two faculty members, one research associate and undergraduate students will work on an experiment being performed at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Geneva, Switzerland. The experiment involves a large detector (known as L3) and is built by a collaboration of 300 physicists from throughout the world. L3 is located at the new electron-positron colliding beam facility presently under construction at CERN. The purpose of the experiment is to make precise tests of the current theory of elementary particles known as the "standard model". The Union College Group will have well defined responsibilities for the detector. They are concerned with the design, fabrication and implementation of two monitors for the muon system: 1) the drift velocity monitor; and 2) the readout for the laser alignment apparatus. This work will involve the participation of about 15 undergraduate students in forefront research at Union College and off-campus.
