Particle Physics Studies of High Energy Hadronic Collisions

这项为期三年的持续拨款支持路易斯维尔大学克里斯托弗·戴维斯在费米实验室672实验上的工作。这是一项高能强子-质子和强子-核碰撞产生介子的实验研究。本实验将研究几个有助于相互作用的QCD子过程。这个实验将使我们更好地理解将夸克结合在一起形成质子和中子并将它们结合在一起形成原子核的“强”力。

This three-year continuing grant supports the work of Christopher Davis, University of Louisville, on Fermilab Experiment 672. This is an experimental study of dimuon production is hadron-proton and hadron-nucleus collisions at high energies. The experiment will study several QCD subprocesses which contribute to the interaction. This experiment will lead to greater understanding of the "strong" force which binds quarks together to form protons and neutrons and which holds these together in nuclei.
