Research in Elementary Particle Physics

该提案要求支持密歇根州立大学的一个小组，以费米实验室Tevatron质子-反质子对撞机的D 0实验和日内瓦欧洲核子研究委员会质子-质子大型强子对撞机（LHC）的ATLAS实验为基础，开展实验基本粒子物理学的研究和教育计划。MSU组形成了D 0实验的核心，该组的成员之一，H。目前，他是该实验的联合发言人。该小组主要负责在触发器的三个级别中的每一个级别上进行运行II升级。他们积极参与许多物理分析，包括顶夸克和QCD物理以及寻找新现象。该小组在ATLAS上的工作包括设计和建造二级触发系统以及将其与数据采集系统集成。MSU小组的成员正在为物理和非科学专业的学生及其成员之一B介绍技术和知识专长。Pope是QuarkNet的活跃成员，QuarkNet是一个多机构的努力，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 D0 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 formed the nucleus of the D0 experiment and one of the members of the group, H. Weerts, is currently a co-spokesman for the experiment. The group has major responsibilities to the Run II upgrades at each of the three levels of the trigger. They are actively engaged in a number of physics analyses, including top quark and QCD physics as well as searches for new phenomena. The group's work on ATLAS includes design and construction of the Level 2 trigger system as well as integrating it with the data acquisition system.Members of the MSU group are introducing technical and intellectual expertise into the classroom for both physics and non-science majors and one of their members, B. Pope, is an active member of QuarkNet, the multi-institutional effort to involve high school teachers and their students in particle physics research.
