This award will provide funds to a group from the University of California, Irvine to continue their study of ultra high energy (UHE) phenomena using Cosmic Rays and the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. They will continue the search for UHE signals from astrophysical point sources and investigate the muon content of the showers from these signals and will try to determine whether the anomalous muons which have been seen in Herculus X-1 bursts, is a universal phenomena among UHE sources. These studies are essential for our understanding of photon hadron interactions at the center of mass energies in the 100 GeV to 1 TeV range.

该奖项将为加州大学欧文分校的一个小组提供资金，以继续他们使用宇宙射线和费米实验室Tevatron对撞机研究超高能量（UHE）现象。他们将继续寻找来自天体物理点源的UHE信号，并从这些信号中调查雨中的μ子含量，并将试图确定在Herculus X-1爆发中看到的异常μ子是否是UHE源中的普遍现象。这些研究对于我们理解在100 GeV到1 TeV范围内的质能中心的光子强子相互作用至关重要。
