Research in Particle and Astroparticle Physics

9408716科因资助授予加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的教职员工，用于在斯坦福直线加速器中心继续研究电子-正电子相互作用。本研究旨在确定基本粒子标准模型的参数。该方法利用了只有在SLAC的SLC对撞束复合体中才能获得的极化电子。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。该组织参与了Milagro的设计和建造，这是一种新的空气簇射探测器，利用大型水池中的簇射粒子产生的切伦科夫辐射。有了它，他们将在目前无法获得的能量下确定宇宙射线的性质。***

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. ***
