***9804320Adams This grant will support studies using the upgraded DO detector at the FERMILAB Tevatron. At the Tevatron protons and anti-protons are collided at the highest energies currently available in the world. The experimenters are also helping to construct the CMS detector which will take data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This collider will take over the energy frontier from Fermilab around 2005. The collisions at these colliders produce many different types of particles which can be revealed by studying the signals they leave behind in the detectors. The experimenters study these signals in the hope of finding evidence of new types of particles not previously seen. The Higgs is one such particle which experimenters are looking for. The detection of this particle will help physicists to explain/understand why particles have mass. The experimenters may also find evidence for supersymmetric particles.***

*** 9804320ADAMS这笔赠款将支持使用Fermilab Tevatron升级的DO探测器的研究。 在Tevatron，在世界目前可用的最高能量碰撞的Tevatron和反原始子。 实验者还正在帮助构建CMS检测器，该检测器将在大型强子对撞机（LHC）上获取数据。 该对撞机将在2005年左右接管Fermilab的能量前沿。这些山脉的碰撞产生了许多不同类型的颗粒，可以通过研究它们在检测器中留下的信号来揭示。 实验者研究这些信号是为了找到以前未见的新型粒子的证据。希格斯是实验者正在寻找的这样的粒子。 该粒子的检测将有助于物理学家解释/理解颗粒为什么具有质量。 实验者还可以找到超对称颗粒的证据。***
