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.

这笔拨款用于哈佛大学木下教授的实验初级粒子物理研究。她将继续寻找带奇异电荷的基本粒子。可蚀刻固体径迹探测器用于在两个对撞束加速器上搜索狄拉克单极和其他高电离粒子。持续未能观测到磁单极子仍然是一个谜题，它冲击着现代物理学的基本前提。
