The newly created experimental HEP group at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) is developing a research program in collider physics, focused on the CMS experiment at CERN and the DO experiment at FNAL. The program seeks to find answers to fundamental questions about the underlying mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and the origin of the mass. One approach is to directly search for Higgs particles at CMS and DO experiments. Another is to measure precisely the top quark mass with CMS, which will provide an indirect constraint on the Higgs boson mass. The groups technical responsibilities include participation in the construction, installation and commissioning of the CMS Forward Pixel detector, and contributions to the operation of the DO silicon detector. The proposed research program enhances infrastructure for research and education by providing a choice for UB undergraduate and graduate students to pursue research in experimental high energy physics - an opportunity previously unavailable at the University. The outreach aspects of the program will foster collaboration between high school teachers, students and the UB group members including participation in QuarkNet.

纽约州立大学布法罗分校 (UB) 新成立的实验 HEP 小组正在开发对撞机物理研究项目，重点关注 CERN 的 CMS 实验和 FNAL 的 DO 实验。 该计划旨在寻找有关电弱对称性破缺的基本机制和质量起源的基本问题的答案。一种方法是在 CMS 和 DO 实验中直接搜索希格斯粒子。 另一种是用CMS精确测量顶夸克质量，这将为希格斯玻色子质量提供间接约束。 该小组的技术职责包括参与 CMS 前向像素探测器的建造、安装和调试，以及为 DO 硅探测器的运行做出贡献。 拟议的研究项目为布法罗大学本科生和研究生提供了从事实验高能物理研究的选择，从而增强了研究和教育的基础设施——这是该大学以前无法获得的机会。该计划的外展方面将促进高中教师、学生和 UB 小组成员之间的合作，包括参与 QuarkNet。
