Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics Experiments

这是一笔资助一位教授和一位博士后 研究助理在三个不同的活动。 主 一个是年在瑞士欧洲核子研究中心进行的SMC实验， 中子和质子的自旋性质 用一束极化的μ介子来研究。 在另一 实验中，大体积探测器（LVD）正在组装 在意大利（大萨索）的一个大型地下实验室里。 这项实验旨在探测来自太空的中微子， 并寻找由于变化（振荡）的影响， 他们的身份 在第三次尝试中，研究人员计划 与东北大学物理系的其他研究人员一起 在SDC探测器实验部门要建立和运行 在德克萨斯州的监控中心

This is a grant to support a professor and a postdoctoral research associate in three 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. In the third effort, the investigator plans to join with other investigators from Northeastern physics department in the SDC detector experiment to be built and run at the SSC in Texas.
