Experimental Research In Elementary Particle Physics

罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）的一个小组提出了这项提案，要求为世界上能量最高的强子对撞机的实验高能物理研究项目和一个涉及最高能量宇宙射线研究的项目提供资金。对撞机项目包括费米实验室Tevatron的CDF实验和欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机（LHC）的CMS实验的持续合作。CDF实验目前正处于调优/数据采集阶段，预计将运行数年。CMS实验正准备在2007年开始操作。CMS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生存的辐射环境中的CMS探测器。犹他州的高分辨率苍蝇之眼实验（HiRes）利用大气荧光来研究超高能宇宙射线。这项拟议的研究具有很强的教育成分。它为许多研究生和本科生提供直接的支持和培训，并通过QuarkNet计划，他们为高中教师和罗格斯大学的物理学家举办暑期讲习班，参加费米实验室的高中生暑期课程。

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.
