The grant is for the PI to participate in an experiment at Fermilab in which protons and anti protons are accelerated and allowed to collide at the highest energy possible anywhere in the World. The reaction products of these collisions are measured in a large detector, fabricated and operated by a collaboration of over 250 physicists from 31 institutions from around the World. A primary goal of the experiment is to observe fundamental particles, not seen before, such as the top quark, and also decays of particles such as b quarks which have been seen. The investigator also will participate in an even larger experiment at higher energy at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) when it is built a few years from now.

这笔资助用于资助 PI 参加费米实验室的一项实验，其中质子和反质子被加速并允许以世界上任何地方可能的最高能量进行碰撞。 这些碰撞的反应产物在大型探测器中进行测量，该探测器由来自世界各地 31 个机构的 250 多名物理学家合作制造和操作。 该实验的主要目标是观察以前未见过的基本粒子，例如顶夸克，以及已见过的粒子的衰变，例如b夸克。 几年后，研究人员还将在超导超级对撞机 (SSC) 建成后，参与一项更高能量的更大规模实验。
