Research Program in Experimental Elementary Particle Physics

堪萨斯大学(堪萨斯大学)实验粒子物理小组继续在该领域的前沿开展工作，准备利用欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机的CMS探测器获取数据；获取并分析目前正在进行的两个实验的数据：费米实验室的D0和康奈尔大学CESR设施的CLEO。此外，KU集团还参与了用于粒子天体物理的国际线性对撞机(ILC)探测器和射电切伦科夫探测器技术的开发工作。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DAQ系统的元素以及跟踪算法的开发。在D0实验上，堪萨斯州为最近的主要探测器升级做出了重大贡献，跟踪触发和跟踪算法的小组努力将继续下去。有了CLEO，该小组将继续专注于辐射夸克衰变。线性对撞机的工作重点是电磁量热计的设计概念。在粒子天体物理学中，对宇宙中微子的无线电探测是该小组的重点。该小组参与了一个重要的推广项目--Quarked Effort(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的兴奋。该组织是QuarkNet的长期成员。

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.
