High-Energy Physics Research at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider

这笔拨款是为了让PI参加费米实验室的一个实验，在这个实验中，质子和反质子被加速，并被允许在世界上任何地方以最高能量碰撞。这些碰撞的反应产物是在一个大型探测器上测量的，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。实验的一个主要目标是观察以前未见过的基本粒子，如顶夸克，以及已见过的粒子的衰变，如b夸克。研究人员还将在超导超级对撞机（SSC）上参与一个更大的高能实验，该实验将在几年后建成。

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.
