This award provides three year support for the high energy physics group at Rutgers University New Brunswick. The Rutgers effort is focused primarily upon CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN., but also includes the completion of physics programs at the Tevatron (CDF and D0) and a technology development project for diamond-based high luminosity beam monitors for the LHC (previously supported by an NSF MRI award). This mix of projects exploits the varied expertise of group members while balancing their responsibilities to bring existing efforts to a natural close, to provide thesis opportunities for graduate students, to have a major impact upon LHC physics analyses, and to pave the way for future activities. The broader impacts include holding QuarkNet Summer workshops for high school teachers, participation in the annual Summer Research Program for high school students, work with environmental activists across New Jersey, and continuation of activities in accelerator physics, particularly with undergraduate students.

该奖项为罗格斯大学新玩法的高能物理组提供三年的支持。罗格斯大学的工作主要集中在欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机（LHC）的CMS（紧凑型μ子螺线管）上。还包括完成Tevatron的物理项目（CDF和D0）和LHC的基于金刚石的高亮度光束监测器的技术开发项目（以前由NSF MRI奖支持）。这种项目组合利用了小组成员的各种专业知识，同时平衡了他们的责任，使现有的努力自然结束，为研究生提供论文机会，对LHC物理分析产生重大影响，并为未来的活动铺平道路。更广泛的影响包括为高中教师举办QuarkNet夏季研讨会，参与高中学生的年度夏季研究计划，与新泽西各地的环保活动家合作，以及继续开展加速器物理学活动，特别是与本科生合作。
