Elementary Particle Physics with ATLAS

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该奖项为纽约大学基本粒子物理小组的一个研究项目提供了持续的支持。原来在MILAGRO和RSVP，纽约大学的小组在2006年加入ATLAS，并完全过渡到这个实验。它已经开发了一个涵盖探测器调试和操作、物理分析和升级工作的综合计划。这包括继续负责高能级触发器的缺失横向能量组件，致力于ATLAS跟踪探测器的高亮度升级，继续开发ATLAS分析架构，以及旨在探测希格斯玻色子衰变为tau轻子的分析工作，测量顶夸克的产生，以及早期确定可能的超对称性粒子质量的新方法。更广泛的影响集中在本科生参与研究项目上，并通过与纽约大学斯坦哈特教育学院和布鲁克海文国家实验室的持续合作，将粒子物理学的兴奋带给纽约市（NYC）的中学教师和学生，这可能在未来几年内也会在媒体上突出。此外，还计划扩大目前的ATLAS EVO cern - us。在纽约的中学举行网络会议。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award provides continuing support for a program of research for the Elementary Particle Physics group at New York University(NYU). Formerly on MILAGRO and RSVP, the NYU group joined ATLAS in 2006 and has transitioned totally to this experiment. It has developed a comprehensive program spanning detector commissioning and operation, physics analyses, and upgrade efforts. This includes continued responsibility for the Missing Transverse Energy component of the High Level Trigger, work toward a high luminosity upgrade of the ATLAS tracking detectors, continued development of the ATLAS Analysis Architecture, and analysis efforts aimed at the detection of the Higgs boson decaying to tau leptons, measurement of top quark production, and new approaches for early determination of possible SUSY particle masses. Broader impact focuses on the involvement of undergraduates in the research program, and bringing the excitement of particle physics, which will likely also be prominent in the media in the next few years, to New York City (NYC) middle-school teachers and students through an ongoing collaboration with the NYU Steinhardt School of Education and Brookhaven National Laboratory. In addition, there are plans to expand the current ATLAS EVO CERN-U.S. web-conferencing to NYC middle schools.
