This US-Brazil award supports Dr. Marleigh Sheaff, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Dr. John P. Cumalat, University of Colorado, to work with Professors Joao Anjos, Ignacio Bediaga, Jussara Miranda, and Alberto Reis of Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas (CBPF) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the field of elementary particle physics. They will work together on analysis projects, such as the FOCUS experiment (Fotoproduction of Charm in an Upgraded Spectrometer), that concern decays of charm mesons and baryons and the production of charm particles by photons on nuclear targets.This collaborative project will allow U.S. students to travel to Brazil to join an on-going collaboration, FOCUS, which is a fixed target charm-quark experiment based at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois. Our counterpart agency in Brazil, CNPq, will provide support for a Brazilian student to be based at Fermilab. Through this award researchers from both the U.S. and Brazil collaborate on large-science projects of mutual interest, and younger physicists from both countries have the experience of working in an international setting early in their careers.

这个美国-巴西奖支持威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的Marleigh Sheaff博士和科罗拉多大学的John P. Cumalat博士与巴西里约热内卢的Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas（CBPF）的Joao Anjos、伊格纳西奥Bediaga、Jussara米兰达和Alberto Reis教授在基本粒子物理学领域合作。 他们将在FOCUS实验等分析项目上合作（Fotoproduction of Charm in an Upgraded Spectrometer），关注粲介子和重子的衰变以及光子在核靶上产生粲粒子。这个合作项目将允许美国学生前往巴西参加正在进行的合作项目FOCUS，这是一个位于巴达维亚费米实验室的固定靶粲夸克实验，伊利诺 我们在巴西的对口机构CNPq将为一名巴西学生提供支持，让他在费米实验室工作。 通过这个奖项，来自美国和巴西的研究人员在共同感兴趣的大型科学项目上进行合作，来自两国的年轻物理学家在职业生涯早期就有在国际环境中工作的经验。
