Research and Development of Silicon Strip Detectors

该赠款为费米实验室 Tevatron 碰撞束加速器复合体中 1800 GeV 能量的质子与反质子相互作用的研究提供部分支持。 相互作用产物将在 CDF 探测器中观察到，该探测器由包括普渡大学集团在内的大型国际合作机构运营。 具体活动是参与研发，旨在设计、建造以及在 CDF 中安装具有增强功能的硅顶点探测器。 将购买先进的诊断仪器来装备硅探测器实验室。 新的顶点探测器将有助于识别顶夸克的 B 介子衰变产物，这一发现引起了人们的强烈兴趣。

This grant provides partial support research in the study of interactions of protons with antiprotons at 1800 GeV energy at the Fermilab Tevatron colliding beams accelerator complex. Interaction products will be observed in the CDF detector operated by a large international collaboration that includes the Purdue group. The particular activity is participation in R&D directed toward the design and construction and installation in CDF of a silicon vertex detector with enhanced capability. Sophisticated diagnostic instruments will be purchased to outfit a silicon-detector laboratory. The new vertex detector will aid in identification of B-meson decay products of Top quarks, whose discovery is the subject of intense interest.
