CAREER: An Integrated Research and Education Program in Physics of Heavy Hadrons

PI建议研究B介子的性质，目的是从B工厂和其他加速器获得的精确数据中提取基本参数。他将进行详细的计算B-Bbar混合和发展因式分解定理的两体衰变的B介子到一个charmonium状态加轻介子。通过这种方式，他计划将强相互作用矩阵元素的影响与CKM矩阵元素等基本参数的影响分开。在该提案的更广泛方面，PI计划在底特律学校积极推广非裔美国学生和其他代表性不足的群体。特别是，他将在学校建立一个计算机网络，用于在上学期间培训学生，并在其他时间进行粒子物理计算。他还将参与当地的REU和RET项目，并开发有关？宇宙的历史？教授高中教师和学生粒子物理学天体物理学和宇宙学。

The PI proposes to study properties of B-mesons with the aim of extracting fundamental parameters from precision data obtained at B-factories and other accelerators. He will perform detailed calculations of B-Bbar mixing and develop factorization theorems for the two-body decays of B-mesons into a charmonium state plus a light meson. In this way he plans to separate the effects of strong interaction matrix elements from those of fundamental parameters such as CKM matrix elements. In the broader aspects of the proposal, the PI plans an active program of outreach to African-American students and other under-represented groups in Detroit schools. In particular he will establish a network of computers in the schools which will be used to train students during the school day and to perform particle physics calculations at other times. He will also be involved in the local REU and RET programs and develop courses on the ?History of the Universe? to instruct high school teachers and students about particle physics and astrophysics and cosmology.
