Investigations in Elementary Particle Physics

三位教员，两位助理研究员和四位研究生将继续他们在基本粒子物理方面的研究。这项以大学为基础的研究使用了费米实验室的设备，其中一个实验是在Tevatron对撞机上进行的（E740在D0相互作用区域），第二个实验是用中微子进行的，目前正处于完成的最后阶段。对撞机实验是一个大型的合作项目，旨在研究加速器中最高能量的质子-反质子碰撞。该小组负责探测器的主要子系统，快速触发系统，宇宙射线屏蔽的实施以及费米实验室测试束计划的整体管理。对撞机实验将探索粒子物理的高能前沿，这是当前粒子物理理论适用性极限下的一个未知领域。

Three faculty, two research associates and four graduate students will continue their research in elementary particle physics. The university based effort uses facilities at Fermilab, one experiment at the Tevatron Collider (E740 at the D0 interaction region) and the second an experiment with neutrinos, in the final stage of completion. The Collider experiment is a large collaborative effort to study proton- antiproton collisions at the highest energies available at accelerators. The group has had responsibility for major subsystems of the detector, the fast trigger system, the implementation of the cosmic ray shield and the overall management of the test-beam program at Fermilab. The collider experiment will explore the high energy frontier of particle physics, an unknown arena at the limit of applicability of the current theory of particle physics.
