This proposal requests support for the research program of the Wayne State group which is involved in the CLEO experiment at the CESR facility at Cornell University and in the BTeV experiment currently planned for future running at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. This group participated actively in the physics analysis of CLEO II (the PI was co-spokesman for a term), made major contributions to the interaction region (IR) for the upgrade of CESR and CLEO, and helped with the new RICH particle identification detector. The group is currently working on interesting physics results with CLEO II data including D-mixing, the D-star width, rare semileptonic DS decays, the mass of the tau neutrino, B to tau nu, and accelerator physics.For BTeV the group plans to bring its expertise in the construction of low mass and high precision machine-detector interfaces to this project. The physics interests include rare charm decays where no work beyond very promising early calculations have thus far been done. The proposed BTeV detector looks to be very sensitive to D-mixing. BTeV will become the group's main physics interest after the completion of CLEO.

该提案要求支持韦恩国家小组的研究计划，该小组参与了康奈尔大学CESR设施的CLEO实验和目前计划在费米实验室Tevatron对撞机上进行的BTeV实验。 该小组积极参与了CLEO II的物理分析（PI担任了一个任期的联合发言人），为CESR和CLEO的升级做出了重要贡献，并帮助了新的RICH粒子识别探测器。 该小组目前正在研究CLEO II数据的有趣物理结果，包括D-混合，D-星宽度，罕见的半轻子DS衰变，tau中微子的质量，B到tau nu，以及加速器物理。对于BTeV，该小组计划将其在低质量和高精度机器-探测器接口建设方面的专业知识带到这个项目中。 物理学的兴趣包括罕见的魅力衰变，除了非常有前途的早期计算之外，迄今为止还没有做过任何工作。 所提出的BTeV探测器看起来对D混合非常敏感。 在CLEO完成后，BTeV将成为该小组的主要物理兴趣。
