Searches for Elementary Particles with Exotic Electromagnetic Charge

本基金资助哈佛大学木下教授的基本粒子物理学实验研究。她将继续寻找带有奇异电荷的基本粒子。在两个碰撞束流加速器中，使用可蚀刻的固体轨迹探测器来搜索狄拉克单极子和其他高电离粒子。一直未能观测到磁单极子仍然是一个难题，它影响了现代物理学的基本前提。

This grant covers experimental Elementary Particle Physics research by Professor Kinoshita at Harvard University. She will continue to search for elementary particles with exotic charge. Etchable solid state track detectors are used to search for Dirac monopoles and other highly ionizing particles at two colliding beam accelerators. The continued failure to observe magnetic monopoles remains a puzzle which impacts the fundamental premises of modern physics.
