Particle Physics at High Energy Colliders

这项提议请求支持密歇根州立大学的一个小组，该小组基于费米实验室Tevatron质子-反质子对撞机的CDF实验和日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心的质子-质子大型强子对撞机(LHC)的ATLAS实验，对实验基本粒子物理的研究和教育计划提供支持。自1992年以来，MSU小组一直是CDF实验的成员。该小组的主要责任是为新的塞式热量计、新的中央跟踪器、Muon系统升级和新的中央前辐射器探测器进行Run II升级。他们积极参与QCD物理的分析。该小组在ATLAS上的工作包括建造和测试强子量热子系统，包括闪烁体瓷砖和光纤。密歇根州立大学小组的成员让本科生和高中教师和学生参与他们的研究活动。该小组是QuarkNet的成员，QuarkNet是一个多机构努力，旨在让高中教师和他们的学生参与粒子物理研究。

This proposal requests support for a group at Michigan State University for a program of research and education in experimental elementary particle physics based on the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider and on the ATLAS experiment at the proton-proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, Geneva. The MSU group has been a member of the CDF experiment since 1992. The group has major responsibilities to the Run II upgrades for the new plug calorimeters, to the new central tracker, to the muon system upgrade and to a new central pre-radiator detector. They are actively engaged in the analyses of QCD physics. The group's work on ATLAS involves the construction and testing of the hadron calorimeter subsystem, involving scintillator tiles and optical fibers.Members of the MSU group are involving undergraduates and high school teachers and students in their research activities. The group is a member of QuarkNet, the multi-institutional effort to involve high school teachers and their students in particle physics research.
