This is a proposed program of studies that may eventually give new insight into the origin of the matter dominance of the universe and is likely to contribute to our understanding of the origin of mass. The impact of the proposed research program reaches a broad scope within elementary particle physics. The proposed work on active pixel detector technology has application to instrumentation used at synchrotron light sources to study materials and biological systems. The proposed work on distributed databases has strong overlap with work being done by Johnd Hopkins colleagues for several large astronomy projects. Expertise in grid computing is being used to facilitate biological Molecular Dynamics simulations on the Open Science Grid (OSG) and is paving the way for an expanded presence of the life sciences on the OSG. The proposed research also has an educational component. It provides direct support and training for a number of graduate and undergraduate students. The group are the hosts of a QuarkNet center which has a current membership of 13 Baltimore area high school teachers. This QuarkNet Center has initiated and helped to organize a very successful series of regional Physics Fairs that have brought science to thousands of area residents. Quarknet-aliated teachers and their students have also begun to participate in a series of International Masterclasses that are enriching the educational experiences of high school students from around the world.

这是一项拟议的研究计划，最终可能会对宇宙占主导地位的起源进行新的见解，并可能有助于我们对群众起源的理解。拟议的研究计划的影响达到了基本粒子物理学的广泛范围。 主动像素检测器技术的拟议工作已应用于同步灯源用于研究材料和生物系统的仪器。 在分布式数据库上的拟议工作与约翰·霍普金斯（Johnd Hopkins）的同事在几个大型天文学项目中所做的工作有着强烈的重叠。 网格计算方面的专业知识用于促进开放科学网格（OSG）的生物分子动力学模拟，并为OSG上生命科学的扩展铺平了道路。 拟议的研究还具有教育成分。 它为许多研究生和本科生提供了直接的支持和培训。 该小组是一个夸克中心的主持人，该中心目前拥有13个巴尔的摩地区高中教师的会员资格。 这个Quarknet中心已经发起并帮助组织了一系列非常成功的区域物理博览会，这些博览会将科学带到了数千个地区居民。 Quarknet的老师及其学生也开始参加一系列国际大师班，这些大师班将丰富来自世界各地的高中生的教育经历。
