Experimental Research in Elementary Particle Physics

这是对罗格斯大学6名教员的重新支持的请求，他们将在费米国家加速器实验室进行两个最重要的实验研究。它是两个小组的结合，这两个小组都得到了国家科学基金会的支持。Devlin， Watts和Conway是CDF合作项目的成员，他们在1.8Gev的反质子-质子碰撞中探索高PT物理和重夸克的产生。这是一个成熟的实验，罗格斯小组开发、提供并维护了三级触发系统——一个高速工作站集群，它实时处理实验的输出，并做出最终的事件选择。Schnetzer， Thompson和Somalwar是KTEV合作的主要成员，该合作正在建立下一代实验，以探索介子衰变中的CP破坏。这项固定目标实验正处于筹备阶段，预计将于1996年初进行。罗格斯大学的研究小组对罕见的介子衰变特别感兴趣，这是CP实验的副产品，其观察结果可能为标准模型之外的物理学提供线索。＊＊＊

9417820 Devlin This is a request for renewed support for a group of 6 faculty at Rutgers University to do research in two of the most important experiments at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. It is a combination of two groups both of which have had NSF support. Devlin, Watts and Conway are members of the CDF collaboration exploring high PT physics adn heavy quark production in antiproton-proton collisions at 1.8Gev. This a mature experiment and the Rutgers group developed, provided and has maintained the level 3 trigger system - a cluster of high speed workstations which processes the output of the experiment in real time and makes the final event selection. Schnetzer, Thompson and Somalwar are key members of the KTEV collaboration which is setting up the next generation of experiments to explore CP violation in Kaon decays. This fixed target experiment is in the preparation phase and is expected to run in early 1996. The Rutgers group is especially interested in rare kaon decays which are a by product of CP experiment and whose observation may provide clues about physics beyond the Standard Model. ***
