9809799BerkelmanThis grant to run the CESR facility and to perform high energy physics research with the CLEO detector will support studies of the b quark, one of the six types of quark known to exist. The b quark is the heaviest quark which is stable under strong interactions. Only the top quark is heavier. This fact allows many studies to be made of its properties. An understanding of the quark couplings and of the couplings between different types of quark is basic to an understanding of the particles and forces of nature. The ultimate goal of this experimental program is to understand how basic symmetries, e.g. CP, are violated in nature, which leads, for example, to the mechanism by which the Universe becomes composed largely of matter and not anti-matter.

9809799 Berkelman这笔用于运行CESR设施和使用CLEO探测器进行高能物理研究的拨款将支持B夸克的研究，这是已知存在的六种夸克之一。B夸克是最重的夸克，在强相互作用下是稳定的。 只有顶夸克更重。这一事实允许许多研究其属性。 理解夸克耦合和不同类型夸克之间的耦合是理解粒子和自然力的基础。 这个实验计划的最终目标是了解基本的对称性，例如CP，在自然界中是如何被破坏的，这导致了例如宇宙主要由物质而不是反物质组成的机制。
