9315143 Mueller This award supports a two-year collaborative research project between Professor Berndt Mueller, Department of Physics, Duke University, and Professor Hisakazu Minakata, Department of Physics, Tokyo Metropolitan University. The primary purpose of the project is to study QED (quantum electrodynamics) of strong external fields and its ultimate goal is to resolve the puzzle of peak structure observed in the GSI experiments. Professor Alan Chodos of Yale University and Professor Yee Jack Ng, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will also participate in the project. The investigators will study several aspects of the QED vacuum in the presence of a strong external field: (1) collective modes in the QED vacuum? (2) chiral transition in the QED vacuum? and (3) Dyson equation approach. With the beginning of the operation of the APEX experiment at the ATLAS facility at Argonne National Laboratory and the resumption of experiments at GSI, interest in the physics of QED in strong external fields is growing again. The international collaboration will contribute to the development of these experiments, as the collaborators bring varying and mutually supportive individual expertise to the effort. ***

9315143穆勒该奖项支持杜克大学物理系Berndt Mueller教授和东京都大学物理系Hisakazu Minakata教授之间为期两年的合作研究项目。该项目的主要目的是研究强外场的量子电动力学，其最终目的是解决在GSI实验中观察到的峰结构之谜。耶鲁大学的Alan Chodos教授和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的Yee Jack Ng教授也将参与该项目。研究人员将在强外场作用下研究QED真空的几个方面：(1)QED真空中的集体模；(2)QED真空中的手征跃迁？(3)戴森方程方法。随着在阿贡国家实验室的ATLAS设施的APEX实验的开始，以及GSI的实验的恢复，人们对强外场中的QED物理的兴趣再次增长。国际合作将有助于这些实验的发展，因为合作者为努力带来了不同的和相互支持的个人专业知识。***
