Experimental Particle Physics Research

该奖项为堪萨斯大学实验粒子物理组（KU）提供部分支持，以继续在瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）的大型强子对撞机（LHC）上使用紧凑型μ子螺线管（CMS）探测器进行研究，费米实验室Tevatron的D0实验，CLEO实验的数据分析，国际线性对撞机（ILC）探测器的工作，使用高能宇宙射线的无线电探测技术，并进行公众宣传。KU的研究范围构成了该计划的高智力价值的基础，因为这些研究有可能在最小的距离尺度上提供对物质和能量的更好理解，从而解决科学中一些最基本的问题。这一拟议活动的广泛影响也相当大。研究生和博士后将接受广泛的培训。该小组在本科生研究方面也有很好的成功记录，并将继续参与。夸克! 由Alice Bean教授于2004年启动的项目以及QuarkNet计划提供了一个重要的外展重点，该计划将继续通过互联网与针对不同社区的网站传播研究成果。

This award provides partial support to the University of Kansas experimental particle physics group (KU) to continue studies with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, the D0 experiment at Fermilab's Tevatron, data analysis from the CLEO experiment, efforts on international linear collider (ILC) detectors, using radio detection techniques for high-energy cosmic rays, and performing public outreach. The range of studies by KU form the basis for the high intellectual merit of the program since these studies have the potential to provide a greater understanding of matter and energy at the smallest distance scales and so address some of the most fundamental questions in science. The broader impacts of this proposed activity are also considerable. Graduate students and postdocs will receive extensive training. The group also has a strong record of success in undergraduate research and will continue such involvement. The Quarked! Project, started by Professor Alice Bean in 2004, as well as the QuarkNet program provide an important outreach focus as will the continuation of the program to disseminate research findings via the Internet with web sites aimed at different communities.
