***9818097GerdesThe top quark is by far the heaviest of the six types of quarks we know to exist. Since it is so heavy, it can currently only be produced at the Fermilab Tevatron. The PI is a leader in the efforts to understand the decays of the top quark. This research program will allow him to continue his focus on studying the decays of this particle, and will enable him to work on upgrading the CDF detector so that a much higher statistics sample of top quark decays can be accumulated. This will allow the Standard Model to be probed in a new energy region and may reveal new physics. In addition, the PI is working on a project to use Java to set up a series of interactive physics demonstrations on the World Wide Web.***

顶夸克是迄今为止我们所知道的六种夸克中最重的。由于它非常重，目前只能在费米实验室的Tevatron中产生。在理解顶夸克衰变的努力中，PI处于领先地位。这个研究项目将使他能够继续专注于研究这种粒子的衰变，并使他能够对CDF探测器进行升级，以便积累更多的顶夸克衰变统计样本。这将允许标准模型在一个新的能量区域进行探索，并可能揭示新的物理学。此外，PI正在进行一个项目，使用Java在万维网上建立一系列交互式物理演示
