High-Energy Physics Research at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider

这项研究的主要重点是为位于费米实验室的世界上最高能量对撞机的DO质子-反质子交叉区开发粒子探测器系统并将其用于物理测量。这种被称为DO探测器的探测器系统有望成为未来十年基本粒子物理研究的最重要仪器之一。这项工作是20多个机构之间的大型合作努力，Willis等人在其中。发挥重大作用。DO探测器将用于：测量“弱玻色子”的性质，即弱核力的载体；研究强核力的性质(量子色度动力学)；以及寻找尚未发现的现象。Willis等人的研究。他们还将完成他们在费米实验室实验E653上的工作的分析和出版，该实验测量在核乳剂中产生的短寿命粒子(例如，魅力介子和美丽介子)的性质。研究领域是实验基本粒子物理学。这项研究研究了物质的基本组成部分(例如，电子、正电子、夸克和弱玻色子)在非常高的能量下。这些实验使用了加速器和对撞机，它们提供了实验室制造的能量最高的粒子。这些数据是使用高度复杂和复杂的仪器和技术收集和分析的。

The main focus of the research is the development, and use in physics measurements, of a particle detector system for the DO proton-antiproton intersection region of the highest energy collider in the world located at Fermilab. This detector system, called the DO detector, is expected to be one of the most important instruments for elementary particle physics research during the next decade. This work is a large collaborative effort amongst more than 20 institutions in which Willis, et al. play a significant role. The DO detector will be used to: measure the properties of the "weak bosons", carriers of the weak nuclear force; study the properties of the strong nuclear force (quantum chromodynamics); and search for yet undiscovered phenomena. Willis, et al. will also complete the analysis and publication of their work on Fermilab experiment E653, which measures the properties of short lived particles (e.g., charmed and beauty mesons) produced in nuclear emulsion. The field of research is that of experimental elementary particle physics. This research studies the basic building blocks of matter (e.g., electrons, positrons, quarks, and weak bosons) at very high energies. The experiments use accelerators and colliders which provide the highest energy particles made in the laboratory. The data is collected and analyzed using highly complex and sophisticated apparatus and techniques.
