9408716 Coyne Support is granted to faculty at the University of California at Santa Cruz for continued study of electron-positron interactions at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The research aims to determine parameters of the standard model of elementary particles. The method makes use of polarized electrons available only at the SLC colliding-beams complex at SLAC. The group also will apply to cosmic-ray detection methods used in particle- physics experiments. The group participates in the design and construction of MILAGRO, a new air-shower detector that makes use of Cerenkov radiation produced by shower particles in a large pool of water. With it they will determine properties of cosmic rays at currently inaccessible energies. ***

9408716 Coyne支持授予加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的教师，以继续在斯坦福大学线性加速器中心（SLAC）研究电子-正电子相互作用。 该研究旨在确定基本粒子标准模型的参数。 该方法利用极化电子，只有在SLC的碰撞束复杂的SLAC。 该小组还将应用于粒子物理实验中使用的宇宙射线探测方法。 该小组参与了MILAGRO的设计和建造，这是一种新的空气簇射探测器，利用了大水池中簇射粒子产生的切伦科夫辐射。 有了它，他们将确定宇宙射线在目前无法达到的能量的属性。 ***
