Experimental Studies of the Standard Model and Beyond at High Energy Colliders

该奖项为纽约州立大学石溪分校的实验粒子物理项目提供了持续的支持。智力上的价值将是对自然界基本力量对称性被打破的潜在原因的新理解，以及对标准模型未描述的物理学的探索。这将在两个实验项目中进行。主要的工作将是在瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）的大型强子对撞机（LHC）上进行ATLAS实验，在那里，该小组将继续支持量热计，重点是测量电子、光子、缺失能量和长寿命粒子，这些粒子可以研究W/Z玻色子与重夸克的关系。积极参与早期物理学将包括测量W玻色子的性质，测量W玻色子的产生与射流，以及新的粒子搜索。参与费米实验室Tevatron的DØ实验，该计划将扩大对希格斯玻色子的搜索，如果它不存在于115-158 GeV的预期范围内，则允许将其排除在外，或者如果它存在，则寻找其存在的证据。此外，该小组将扩展其对类符号dimuon不对称的研究，目前的结果表明，在B-sub(s)系统中存在意想不到的cp违反，并可能解释宇宙中物质-反物质不对称。更广泛的影响包括：1)改进高中教师的培训；2)继续支持Mariachi项目，该项目在整个地区的高中教室里安装探测器，探测高能宇宙射线；3)通过物理研究、加速器和技术衍生产品的讲座进行公众宣传；4)在培训学生和博士后科学家时强调学习新技术和有效沟通。从而使他们能够在科技行业或政府中担任领导职务。

This award provides continued support for the experimental particle physics program at SUNY-Stony Brook. The intellectual merit will be new understanding of underlying causes for the breaking of the symmetry in the fundamental forces of nature and searches for physics not described by the Standard Model. This will be done in two experimental programs. The major effort will be with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, where the group will continue support for the calorimeters with an emphasis on measuring electrons, photons, missing energy and long lived-particles that enable studies of W/Z bosons in association with heavy quarks. Active participation in the early physics will include measurement of W boson properties, measuring production of W bosons with jets, and new particle searches. Participating in the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron the program will extend the search for the Higgs boson, allowing its exclusion if it does not exist within the expected range 115-158 GeV, or finding evidence for its existence if it does. In addition, the group will extend its study of the like-sign dimuon asymmetry, where current results suggest an unexpected CP-violation in the B-sub(s) system and a possible explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The broader impact includes 1) development of improved training for high school teachers, 2) continued support for the Mariachi Project that installs detectors to sense high energy cosmic rays in high school classrooms across the region, 3) public outreach through talks on physics research, accelerators and technological spinoffs, and 4) emphasizing in the training of students and postdoctoral scientists the learning of new techniques and effective communication, thereby enabling them to take leadership positions in science and technology industry or government.
