RUI: Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring Beam Physics Research at the California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo

这个为期三年的奖项将为圣路易斯奥比斯波的加州州立大学（Cal Poly）与康奈尔大学基本粒子物理实验室（LEPP）合作的束流物理学的本科生研究，教学和推广提供支持。目前，康奈尔正负电子储存环（CESR）有两种运行模式：1）作为国际直线对撞机（ILC）阻尼环（CesrTA）的测试加速器，2）作为康奈尔高能同步加速器源（CHESS）的同步辐射源。该奖项的智力价值是继续研究和开发CESR束流诊断的持续努力，能够量化逐束团和逐匝束流动态，以研究重要的ILC阻尼环机器参数和CHESS的高亮度操作。该研究员在康奈尔大学束流物理学研究方面有着良好的记录，并将继续现有的束流光学和动力学研究的合作努力。该提案中概述的研究计划为本科生参与加速器物理研究提供了一个极好的机会在4年制大学，丰富课程，并通过Cal Poly的卓越科学与数学教育中心（CESaME）向公众推广。

This three-year award will provide support for undergraduate research, teaching, and outreach in beam physics at the California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) in collaboration with the Laboratory of Elementary Particle Physics (LEPP) at Cornell University. Presently, the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring (CESR) has two modes of operation: 1) as a test accelerator for the International Linear Collider (ILC) damping ring (CesrTA), and 2) as a synchrotron radiation source for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). The intellectual merit of this award is to continue the ongoing effort of research and development of CESR beam diagnostics capable of quantifying bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn beam dynamics to study important ILC damping ring machine parameters and high brightness operation of CHESS. The investigator has a strong record of research on beam physics at Cornell, and will continue existing collaborative efforts for the study of beam optics and dynamics. The research plan outlined in the proposal provides an excellent opportunity for the involvement of undergraduates in accelerator physics research at a 4-year college, the enrichment of the curriculum, and outreach to the public through the Cal Poly's Center for Excellence in Science and Mathematical Education (CESaME).
