Experimental Research In Elementary Particle Physics

罗格斯大学的一个小组提出的这项提案要求提供资金，以支持在世界上最高能量的强子对撞机上进行高能物理实验研究的计划，以及涉及最高能量宇宙射线研究的计划。对撞机计划包括继续合作费米实验室Tevatron的CDF实验和CERN大型强子对撞机(LHC)的CMS实验。CDF实验目前正处于调整/数据采集阶段，预计将持续数年。CMS实验正在筹备中，将于2007年开始运行。CMS的工作包括开发化学气相沉积金刚石探测器，用于在硅探测器无法存活的辐射环境中使用CMS探测器。犹他州的高分辨率苍蝇眼实验(HIRES)使用大气荧光来研究超高能宇宙线。这项拟议的研究具有很强的教育意义。它为许多研究生和本科生提供直接支持和培训，并通过QuarkNet计划为高中教师举办暑期讲习班，罗格斯大学的物理学家参加Fermilab为高中生举办的暑期项目。

This proposal from a Rutgers University group requests funds to support a program of experimental high energy physics research at the world's highest energy hadron colliders and a program involving the study of the highest-energy cosmic rays. The collider program involves the continuing collaboration in the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The CDF experiment is currently in a tuning/data-taking phase and is expected to run for a number of years. The CMS experiment is being prepared to begin operation in 2007. The CMS work includes development of chemical-vapor-deposition diamond detectors for use in the CMS detector in radiation environments where Silicon detectors cannot survive. The High Resolution Fly's Eye experiment (HiRes) in Utah uses atmospheric fluorescence to study ultra high-energy cosmic raysThe proposed research has a strong educational component. It provides direct support and training for a number of graduate and undergraduate students and through the QuarkNet program they run summer workshops for high school teachers and Rutgers physicists participate in summer programs for high school students at Fermilab.
