Dimuon and Associated Particle Production in Hadronic Collisions (Physics)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This action would provide funds for the principal investigator from the University of Michigan, Flint to collaborate with physicists from six other institutions on an experiment at Fermilab (E672). The goal of the experiment is to study the reaction products from high energy collisions between mesons and nuclei. The reaction products will be selected for study only if they contain pairs of muons. The goal is to test predictions of the currently accepted theory of the strong interactions, quantum chromodynamics. The award is made under the "Research Opportunities for Women" Program.
