Conference Travel Support for South American participants to ATLAS Meetings of the Americas

大型强子对撞机物理项目是美国高能物理项目的重中之重。美国物理学家是实验建设的主要贡献者，也将是物理学项目的主要贡献者。本节目将讨论该领域的一些最重要的问题，其中包括：质量的起源；时空的本质；暗物质的本质。一旦大型强子对撞机加速器于2008年启动，物理学家就必须准备好分析数据。将于2007年8月举行的第一届美洲ATLAS研讨会是一项重要活动，它将把美洲的物理学家聚集在一起，交流思想，为数据的发布做准备。高能物理学长期以来一直是一项国际活动。该项目将为参与ATLAS实验的南美科学家提供部分支持，以参加将于2007年8月在SLAC举行的第一届ATLAS美洲研讨会。会议将集中讨论从早期LHC运行中提取物理结果所需的工具、技术和基础设施。

The LHC physics program is the highest priority of the US High Energy Physics program. US physicists are major contributors to the construction of the experiment and will be major contributors to the physics program. This program will address some of the most important questions in the field, among them: the origin of mass; the nature of spacetime; the nature of dark matter. It is essential that the LHC physicists be prepared to analyze the data once the LHC accelerator starts in 2008. The First ATLAS Workshop of the Americas to be held in Aug, 2007 is a key event that will bring together physicists from the Americas to exchange ideas and prepare for the onset of data.High Energy physics has long been an international activity. This program will provide partial support for South American scientists on the ATLAS experiment to participate in the First ATLAS Workshop of the Americas, to be held at SLAC in August 2007. The meeting will focus on the tools, techniques, and infrastructure needed to extract physics results from the early LHC running.
