Support US Particle Physicists Participating in Moriond Conference on High Energy Physics; La Thuile, Italy;

该提案要求部分支持年轻物理学家参加第44届Rencontres de Moriond会议：(1)电弱相互作用和统一理论，(2)QCD和高能强子相互作用。第一次会议（2009年3月7-14日）讨论了电弱相互作用和统一理论。主题包括风味物理、天体粒子和暗物质搜索、中微子物理、新粒子搜索、超越标准模型的理论和标准模型的精度测试。第二次会议（2009年3月14-21日）讨论量子色动力学（QCD）和高能强子相互作用。主题包括新物理学和相关的现象学，希格斯玻色子的寻找，b和c夸克的产生和衰变，顶夸克的性质，Tevatron和LHC的高PT物理，LHC探测器的调试，QCD的最新发展，粒子物理学的新理论发展，小x，饱和和正向和自旋物理以及重离子碰撞。这两个会议都将在意大利奥斯塔山谷的拉图伊勒举行。这笔资金将用于年轻科学家的旅行和注册费，主要是博士后和非终身助理教授。

The proposal requests partial support for young physicists to attend either of the two sequential 44th Rencontres de Moriond conferences: (1) Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories and (2) QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions. The first conference (March 7-14, 2009) addresses Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories. The subjects are Flavor Physics, Astroparticles and Dark Matter Searches, Neutrino Physics, new particle searches, Theories beyond the Standard Model, and Precision tests of the Standard Model. The second conference (March 14-21, 2009) addresses Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and High Energy Hadronic Interactions. The topics to be covered include new physics and associated phenomenology, search for the Higgs boson, production and decay of b and c quarks, properties of the top quark, high PT physics at the Tevatron and LHC, commissioning of LHC detectors, recent developments in QCD, new theoretical developments in particle physics, Small x, saturation and forward and spin physics and Heavy Ion collisions. Both conferences will take place in La Thuile, Aosta Valley, Italy. The funds will be used for travel and registration expenses for young scientists, primarily post-docs and un-tenured assistant professors.
