VII International Symposium on Very High Energy Cosmic Ray Interactions; June 21-27, 1992; Ann Arbor, Michigan

该奖项将为一个国际会议提供部分支持，该会议将审议有关高能宇宙射线与地球大气层相互作用的问题。会议的重点将是在各种不同的探测器上观测到的所有类型的宇宙射线阵雨，包括照相乳剂和其他电子粒子探测器设备。关于天体物理学和粒子物理学的基本问题将由可能呈现的数据来解决。在天体物理学中，宇宙射线的来源和性别以及导致其高能量的加速机制引起了人们极大的兴趣。在粒子物理学中，高能与大气相互作用的本质是重要的，并且可能与世界上能量最高的加速器——费米实验室的Tevatron对撞机——的数据有关，这些数据也应该在会议上展示。该会议是由国际纯粹与应用物理联合会（IUPAP）主办的两年一次的系列会议中的第七次。

The award will provide partial support for an International conference to consider questions regarding the interactions of very high energy cosmic rays with the Earth's atmosphere. The focus of the conference will be on all types of cosmic ray showers observed in a large variety of different detectors, including photographic emulsions and other electronic particle detector devices. Fundamental questions regarding both astrophysics and particle physics are addressed by data which are likely to be presented. In astrophysics, the sources and the genders of cosmic rays as well as the acceleration mechanisms resulting in their high energies are of profound interest. In particle physics, the nature of the high energy interactions with the atmosphere are important, and can be related to data from the world's highest energy accelerator - the Tevatron collider at Fermilab - from which data should also be presented at the conference. The conference is seventh in a bi-annual series, and is sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP).
