The University of Washington is involved in colliding-beam experiments at Fermilab and the Large Hadron Collider, which will permit exploration and study the mass-energy region up to 1 TeV. This will significantly extend the understanding of the standard model and open an ever-increasing window to physics beyond the standard model. During this proposal period, fabrication work will be completed for the DO Run2b Silicon tracker, and ATLAS Muon System forward chambers will be installed and commissioned. After several years of intense hardware fabrication the group is now ready to focus on the rich physics opportunities available in the DO data and prepare for LHC physics analysis. The group will concentrate on searches for Higgs bosons, SUSY particles, and Mini Black Holes as well as studies of single top quark production. The unique discovery potential of the DO and ATLAS experiments could well lead to a conceptual breakthrough in understanding the nature of matter and the fundamental interactions. The University of Washington program provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate training, and continues to its long tradition of involving undergraduates in all aspects of its research work, by having them spend summers at Fermilab and CERN working with faculty and graduate students.

华盛顿大学参与了费米实验室和大型强子对撞机的对撞束实验，这将允许探索和研究高达1TeV的质量能量区域。这将极大地扩展对标准模型的理解，并为超越标准模型的物理学打开一个不断增加的窗口。在本提案期间，DO Run2b硅跟踪器的制造工作将完成，ATLAS Muon系统前进室将安装和调试。经过几年密集的硬件制造，该小组现在准备专注于DO数据中丰富的物理机会，并为大型强子对撞机的物理分析做准备。该小组将专注于寻找希格斯玻色子、超对称粒子和迷你黑洞，以及研究单顶夸克的产生。DO和ATLAS实验的独特发现潜力很可能导致在理解物质的本质和基本相互作用方面的概念突破。华盛顿大学的项目为本科生培训提供了独特的机会，并延续了其让本科生参与其研究工作各个方面的悠久传统，让他们在费米实验室和欧洲核子研究中心度过暑假，与教职员工和研究生一起工作。
