Research and Development of Silicon Strip Detectors

该补助金提供部分支持研究在费米实验室Tevatron碰撞束加速器复杂的1800 GeV能量的质子与反质子的相互作用的研究。 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操作。 具体活动是参与针对CDF设计、建造和安装具有增强功能的硅顶点探测器的研发。 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，顶夸克的发现是人们非常感兴趣的主题。

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.
