9312774 Margulies This award is for research in elementary particle physics by a group which includes three faculty members, a postdoctoral research associate and two graduate students. They will continue their involvement on QCD processes that result in muon pairs in the fixed-target experiment E672 at the Fermilab Tevatron. The group's analysis efforts are concentrated on events with psi- particles, some fraction of which are B-meson decay products. With these they expect to obtain results on B production and exclusive decay rates. They will also continue to search for charm hyperon decays among the selected events. Another activity is their R&D on scintillating-fiber tracking. That is done with the near-term aim to provide a tracker for the upgraded D0 detector at the Tevatron and the ultimate goal of including a fiber tracker in the detector SDC at the Superconducting Super Collider. ***

小行星9312774 该奖项是由一个小组，其中包括三名教师，博士后研究助理和两名研究生在基本粒子物理学的研究。 他们将继续参与QCD过程，在费米实验室Tevatron的固定目标实验E672中产生μ子对。 该小组的分析工作集中在psi粒子的事件上，其中一部分是B介子衰变产物。 有了这些，他们希望获得B生产和独家衰变率的结果。 他们还将继续在选定的事件中寻找粲超子衰变。 另一项活动是他们的研究开发的纤维跟踪。 这是通过为Tevatron的升级D0探测器提供跟踪器来实现的，最终目标是在超导超级对撞机的探测器SDC中包括光纤跟踪器。 ***
