Conference on Electroweak Theory and Unified Theories

该提案要求为美国科学家参加在法国萨瓦省Les Arcs举行的连续两次高能物理会议提供部分资金支持。第一次会议（2003年3月15-22日）讨论了电弱相互作用和统一理论。主题是B和K系统的CP违反，粒子天体物理学，中微子物理学，标准模型的测试，寻找超越标准模型的新粒子和理论。第二次会议（2003年3月23-29日）关注量子色动力学（QCD）和高能强子相互作用。主题包括重味物理，结构函数，衍射现象，低x物理和饱和度，微扰QCD测试，重离子碰撞，寻找新现象和未来加速器的物理。

The proposal requests funding for partial support for U.S. scientists to attend either of two sequential high energy physics conferences in Les Arcs, Savoie, France. The first conference (March 15-22, 2003) addresses Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories. The subjects are CP violation in B and K systems, particle astrophysics, neutrino physics, tests of the Standard Model, searches for new particles and theories beyond the Standard Model.The second conference (March 23-29, 2003) concerns Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and High Energy Hadronic Interactions. The topics to be covered include heavy flavor physics, structure functions, diffractive phenomena, low-x physics and saturation, tests of perturbative QCD, heavy ion collisions, the search for new phenomena and physics at future accelerators.
