Particle Physics at the Energy Frontier with CMS

该提案要求继续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）的紧凑型介子螺线管（CMS）实验。康奈尔大学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 实验的软件和操作以及欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机早期数据分析的贡献。 该小组对实验的像素探测器、电磁量热仪、触发器和核心软件做出了重大贡献。 该计划的智力价值在于科学前沿的物理学核心：基本对称性、质量本质、空间维度等问题。 更广泛的影响包括：将大型强子对撞机物理的挑战和兴奋带入 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.
