A Research and Development Plan: Detecting WIMP Dark Matter and Developing Physics and Cosmology Exhibits with the Great Lakes Science Center

这份职业计划书描述了探测一种可能的暗物质形式的突破性技术，这种形式被称为WIMPS：弱相互作用大质量粒子。宇宙的大部分被认为是由从未通过现有技术观察到的物质组成的，而wimp是这种未被观测到的暗物质的逻辑候选者之一。这项提议的教育部分包括发展互动展览，向公众介绍这种天体物理学研究，特别是利用五大湖科学中心。

This career proposal describes ground breaking techniques to detect a possible form of dark matter known as WIMPS: Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. Most of the universe is thought to be made of matter which has never been observed through existing techniques and WIMPS is one of the logical candidates for such unobserved dark matter. The educational component of this proposal involves the development of interactive exhibits to inform the general public about such astrophysics research, especially using the Great Lakes Science Center.
