Presidential Young Investigator Award: Research in Detector Development and Particle Physics

研究人员概述了一项旨在开发高精度固态跟踪设备的研究计划，该设备可用于重建与D或B介子衰变轨迹的原点相对应的顶点。目前设想的这种探测器使用了一种新的技术，在硅衬底上进行双面条状蚀刻。使用异质结技术也将开发更多的深奥探测器。这样形成的设备将具有内在的增益，从而减少对大量外部电子设备的需求。

The investigator outlines a research plan directed towards development of high precision, solid state tracking devices which can be used to reconstruct vertices corresponding to the origin of tracks from D or B meson decays. The kind of detector presently envisaged uses a newly emerging technology with two sided strip etchings on a silicon substrate. More esoteric detectors are also to be developed using heterojunction techniques. The devices so formed would have an intrinsic gain reducing the need for massive external electronics.
