Presidential Young Investigator Award: Studies of Rare K Meson Decays and Proton-Antiproton Collisions (Physics)

该奖项支持基本粒子的研究 尼古拉斯·J·哈德利博士（Nicholas J. Hadley），一位年轻的总统 调查员 哈德利博士正在从事两个项目：（a）一个 布鲁克海文稀有K介子衰变的实验研究 国家实验室;和（B）“D 0”实验， 费米对撞机。 这两个实验都是研究 基本力量。 他们探测物质的成分， 非常小的距离。 这些成员及其 相互作用影响着宇宙的演化 物质的微观结构。 布鲁克海文实验 将研究一种对存在的 巨大的新粒子 费米实验室将 进行测试和完善现行“标准”的测量 “基本力量”的概念。

This award supports research in elementary particle physics by Dr. Nicholas J. Hadley, a Presidential Young Investigator. Dr. Hadley is working on two projects: (a) an experimental search for rare K meson decays at Brookhaven National Laboratory; and (b) the "D0" Experiment at the Fermilab Collider. Both of these experiments are studies of the nature of fundamental forces. They probe the constituents of matter at extremely small distances. These constituents and their interactions affect the evolution of the universe and determine the microscopic structure of matter. The Brookhaven experiment will study a decay process which is sensitive to the existence of new, very massive particles. The Fermilab experiment will make measurements which test and refine the current "standard model" of fundamental forces.
