This proposal requests support for a research program in experimental high energy physics based at Rutgers University. The major focus of the group for the next three years is on: Preparation and operation of theCDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron to study proton-antiproton interactions at 2 TeV,Preparation of the CMS experiment for future operation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) currently being built at the CERN laboratory in Geneva Switzerland to study proton-proton interactions at 14 TeV,Observation of the highest energy cosmic rays, of order 1020 eV, with the Fly's Eye detector in Utah, and the upgrade of that detector (HiRes), andR&D work on chemical-vapor-deposition diamonds for use as particle detectors in intense radiation envorinments where corresponding silicon-based detectors cannot survive. This work is supported separately, but is included in the proposal for completeness.In addition, the group is completing analysis work and expects to publish results on two earlier experiments: KTeV at Fermilab and SLD at SLAC.

该提案要求支持罗格斯大学的实验高能物理研究计划。 该小组未来三年的主要工作重点是：在费米实验室Tevatron上准备和操作CDF探测器，以研究2 TeV的质子-反质子相互作用;准备CMS实验，以供将来在瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心实验室建造的大型强子对撞机上运行，以研究14 TeV的质子-质子相互作用;观测最高能量的宇宙射线;在犹他州的蝇眼探测器和该探测器的升级（HiRes）的情况下，1020 eV数量级的金刚石，并且&研发工作在化学气相沉积金刚石上，用于在相应的硅基探测器无法生存的强辐射环境中用作粒子探测器。 这项工作是单独支持的，但为了完整性，它被包括在提案中。此外，该小组正在完成分析工作，并预计将公布两个早期实验的结果：费米实验室的KTeV和SLAC的SLD。
