This is a grant to support a professor and four graduate students in four separate activities. The primary one involves the SMC experiment at CERN in Switzerland in which the spin properties of the neutron and proton are studied using a beam of polarized muons. In another experiment, the Large Volume Detector (LVD) is being assembled in a large underground laboratory in Italy (Grand Sasso). This experiment is intended to detect neutrinos from space, and to search for effects due to changes (oscillations) in their identities. The other two activities involve technological developments in high temperature superconducting magnet design and in the production of devices capable of the detection of muons suitable for use in a new detector (GEM) to be used at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC).

这笔助学金用于资助一名教授和四名研究生参加四项不同的活动。第一个实验涉及瑞士欧洲核子研究中心的SMC实验，在该实验中，使用一束极化的Muon来研究中子和质子的自旋性质。在另一项实验中，大体积探测器(LVD)正在意大利的一个大型地下实验室(Grand Sasso)组装。这项实验的目的是探测来自太空的中微子，并寻找由于它们的身份变化(振荡)而产生的影响。另外两项活动涉及高温超导磁体设计方面的技术开发，以及能够探测用于超导超级对撞机(SSC)新探测器(GEM)的介子的设备的生产。
