Research will be carried out on the properties of neutrinos, specifically the oscillation between muon- and electron-like neutrinos and anti-neutrinos, which occurs by virtue of their having different, albeit very small masses. A large detector being built at the LAMPF laboratory will be used in conjunction with the LAMPF beam stop as a source of muon neutrinos. New limits on the mass difference will be set, thus providing basic information on these fundamental particles, and facilitating comparison with mass differences inferred from direct observation of solar neutrinos. The PI and undergraduate students will carry out development of various elements of the data acquisition system, both hardware and software.

将对中微子的性质进行研究， 特别是类μ子和类电子之间的振荡 中微子和反中微子，这是由于他们的 具有不同的，尽管很小的质量。 大型探测器 正在LAMPF实验室建造的将与 用LAMPF光束停止器作为μ子中微子的来源。 新 将设定质量差的限制，从而提供基本的 关于这些基本粒子的信息， 与直接观测推断的质量差的比较 太阳中微子。 PI和本科生将携带 开发出数据采集的各种要素 系统，包括硬件和软件。
