Particle Physics at the Energy Frontier

康奈尔基本粒子物理实验室（LEPP）的实验小组正在从重夸克物理过渡到能量前沿物理。该研究计划包括为CMS实验和CERN大型强子对撞机的早期数据分析提供软件和操作。本课题组将在实验的像素探测器、电磁量热计、触发器和核心软件等方面做出主要贡献。该计划的智力价值在于科学前沿物理学的核心：基本对称性问题，质量的本质，空间的维度。更广泛的影响包括：将LHC物理的挑战和兴奋带入LEPP广泛的扩展计划：当地K-12学校，普通公众和本科生。

The experimental group at the Cornell Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics (LEPP) is transitioning from heavy quark physics to energy frontier physics. The research program includes contributions to software and operations for the CMS Experiment and analysis of early data at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The group will make major contributions to the pixel detector, electromagnetic calorimeter, trigger, and core software for the experiment. The intellectual merit of the program lies at the heart of physics at the scientific frontier: matters of fundamental symmetries, the nature of mass, the dimensionality of space. The broader impacts include: bringing the challenge and excitement of LHC physics into LEPP's extensive program of outreach: to local K-12 schools, to the general public, and to undergraduate students.
