High Energy Electron-Positron Interactions (Physics)

这笔为期三年的赠款支持罗伯特·潘维尼教授、博士后助理教授和几名研究生在斯坦福直线对撞机上完成“SLD”实验的建设工作。SLD将在100GeV的能量下研究电子-正电子湮没。该小组将专注于中央漂移室、事件模拟和数据分析。这里支持的工作是新一代实验之一，它将在新的更短距离的尺度上研究物质的结构。在这些碰撞中产生的粒子将告诉我们当前物质和力理论的有效性，特别是给我们关于基本粒子“世代”数量的信息。

This three-year grant supports the work of Professor Robert Panvini, a post-doctoral associate and several graduate students on the completion of the construction of the "SLD" experiment at the Stanford Linear Collider. SLD will study electron-positron annihilations at an energy of 100 Gev. The group will concentrate on the central drift chamber, event simulation and data analysis. The work supported here is on one of a new generation of experiments which will study the structure of matter at a new and shorter distance scale. The particles produced in these collisions will tell us about the validity of current theories of matter and forces, and in particular give us information on the number of "generations" of elementary particles.
