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.

三名教师、两名研究员和四名研究生将继续他们的基本粒子物理学研究。 这项基于大学的工作使用了费米实验室的设施，其中一项实验是在 Tevatron 对撞机（位于 D0 相互作用区域的 E740）进行的，第二项实验是中微子实验，目前已完成最后阶段。 对撞机实验是一项大型合作项目，旨在研究加速器可用的最高能量下的质子-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光束计划的总体管理。 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的未知领域。
