Study of Highly Ionizing Products of Very High Energy Collisions

该奖项将支持一组从大学 加州伯克利分校，他参与了一项研究计划， 高能粒子物理该研究包括寻找 磁单极子和其他假设的高度电离 可能在LEP的e + e碰撞中产生的粒子 （CERN）对撞机。 这次搜索将使用蚀刻塑料 轨道探测器 它还将包括完成 从气球上对河外星系进行搜索的数据分析 用塑料径迹测量宇宙线中的重反核 探测器、塑料散热器和切伦科夫辐射器。 一个新 还将在宇宙中寻找带电的大质量粒子。 宇宙射线，或CHAMPS，被推测幸存下来， 在早期宇宙中的湮灭，可能是暗物质， 我们的银河系 这种搜索也将通过使用蚀刻完成 塑料探测器

This award will support a group from the University of California, Berkeley, who is involved in a research program in high energy particle physics. The research includes a search for magnetic monopoles and for other hypothetical highly ionizing particles that might be produced in e+e- collisions at the LEP (CERN) collider. This search will be done using etched plastic track detectors. It will also consist of the completion of the analysis of data from a balloon-borne search of extragalactic heavy antinuclei in the cosmic rays using plastic track detectors, plastic scintillators and Cerenkov radiators. A new search will also be made for charged massive particles in the cosmic rays, or CHAMPS, that are speculated to have survived annihilation in the early universe and may be the dark matter of our Galaxy. This search will also be done by using etched plastic detectors.
