The University of Kansas (KU) experimental particle physics group continues its work atthe frontiers of the field, preparing for data-taking with the CMS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider; taking and analyzing data with two currently running experiments: D0 at the Fermilab Tevatron and CLEO at Cornell's CESR facility. In addition, the KU group is involved in development work for an international linear collider (ILC) detector and radio Cerenkov detection techniques for particle astrophysics. On CMS, the KU group has worked on central silicon tracking and will work on elements of the detector control system and the online DAQ system and tracking algorithm development. On the D0 experiment, Kansas has made major contributions to the recent major detector upgrade and group efforts on the tracking trigger and tracking algorithms will continue. With CLEO, the group will continue to focus on radiative quarkonium decays. Linear collider work focuses on electromagnetic calorimeter design concepts. In particle astrophysics, efforts on radio detection of cosmic neutrinos is the group's focus. The group is involved in a major outreach project, the Quarked effort ( see www.quarked.org), which is a multimedia project to bring the excitement of particle physics to elementary school students. And the group is a long-standing member of QuarkNet.

堪萨斯大学 (KU) 实验粒子物理小组继续在该领域的前沿开展工作，准备使用 CERN 大型强子对撞机的 CMS 探测器采集数据；通过当前正在运行的两个实验获取并分析数据：费米实验室 Tevatron 的 D0 和康奈尔大学 CESR 设施的 CLEO。此外，KU 小组还参与国际线性对撞机 (ILC) 探测器和粒子天体物理学无线电切伦科夫探测技术的开发工作。在 CMS 方面，KU 小组致力于中央硅跟踪，并将致力于探测器控制系统和在线数据采集系统的元件以及跟踪算法的开发。 在 D0 实验中，堪萨斯州为最近的主要探测器升级做出了重大贡献，并且小组在跟踪触发和跟踪算法方面的努力将继续下去。通过 CLEO，该小组将继续关注辐射夸克元素衰变。线性对撞机的工作重点是电磁量热仪的设计概念。在粒子天体物理学中，宇宙中微子的无线电探测是该小组的重点。该小组参与了一个主要的外展项目 Quarked 项目（参见 www.quarked.org），这是一个多媒体项目，旨在为小学生带来粒子物理学的乐趣。该小组是 QuarkNet 的长期成员。
