Request for Funding Support of the 2009 DPF Meeting at Wayne State University; Detroit, Michigan; July 26-31,2009

该提案要求国家科学基金会提供资金，以帮助支付2009年7月26日至31日在密歇根州底特律市韦恩州立大学举行的美国物理学会粒子与场划分会议（DPF2009）的组织费用。这些资金将全部用于支持研究生和博士后研究助理，否则他们将无法参加会议。主办方将免除这些学生和博士后的报名费，并为他们支付住宿费和部分旅费。在2009年粒子与场会议上，实验和理论粒子物理学、粒子天体物理学、宇宙学和重离子物理学的最新成果将在全体会议和平行会议上发表。本次会议上的许多演讲将由年轻的物理学家发表，包括研究生和博士后研究助理，他们将得到这笔资金的支持。更广泛的影响如下：2009年粒子与场部会议提出的计划将促进人们对科学的普遍兴趣，同时推进科学发现。它将包括一个面向公众的特别讲座。组织者将邀请一位公众熟知的演讲者，他能以通俗的方式展示高能物理学的前沿成果。

The proposal requests funds from the National Science Foundation to help defray the cost of organizing the 2009 Meeting of the Division of Particles and Fields (DPF2009) of the American Physical Society on July 26 - 31, 2009, at Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan. The funds are to be used entirely to support graduate students and postdoctoral research associates who otherwise could not afford to attend the conference. The organizers will waive the registration fee for these students and postdocs, and to pay for housing costs and some travel. At the 2009 Division of Particles and Fields Meeting the latest results in both experimental and theoretical particle physics, particle astrophysics, cosmology, and heavy ion physics will be presented in plenary and parallel sessions. Many of the talks at this meeting will be presented by younger physicists, including the graduate students and postdoctoral research associates who will be supported by this grant. The broader impacts are as follows: The proposed program of the 2009 Meeting of the Division of Particles and Fields will promote general interest in science while advancing discovery. It will include a special lecture given to the public. The organizers will invite a speaker who is known to the public and who can present forefront results in high energy physics in a popular manner.
