Particle Physics at the Energy Frontier with CMS

该提案要求重新支持康奈尔大学实验基本粒子物理小组的一项研究计划，该小组参与了欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机（LHC）的紧凑μ子螺线管（CMS）实验。康奈尔大学实验基本粒子物理实验室（LEPP）的实验小组正在继续从重夸克物理向能量前沿物理的过渡。该研究计划包括对CMS实验的软件和操作的贡献，以及对CERN大型强子对撞机早期数据的分析。 该小组正在为实验的像素检测器，电磁量热计，触发器和核心软件做出重大贡献。 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，质量的性质，空间的维度。 更广泛的影响包括：将LHC物理学的挑战和兴奋带入LEPP广泛的推广计划：当地K-12学校，公众和本科生。

This proposal requests renewal of support for a program of research for the Cornell University group in experimental elementary particle physics involved in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.The experimental group at the Cornell Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics (LEPP) is continuing its transition 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 is making 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.
