Support for U.S. High Energy Physicists to Attend 46th Rencontres de Moriond Conference, La Thiule, Italy, March 13-27, 2011

这项资助为年轻物理学家参加将在意大利拉图伊勒举行的第46届Rencontres de Moriond会议提供部分支持：(1)电弱相互作用和统一理论（2011年3月13-20日）和(2)QCD和高能强子相互作用（2011年3月20-27日）。2011年的会议是过渡性的，因为除了美国的CDF， D0， PHENIX和STAR将报告实验结果外，LHC物理的准备和探测器的调试将越来越重要，美国科学家在其中发挥了主要作用。随着大型强子对撞机实验进入全面调试模式，首次获得了大型强子对撞机光束数据，并在地下实验大厅中使用完全运行的探测器收集了大量的宇宙，人们预计在2011年Moriond会议上将有更多的大型强子对撞机会谈。因此，2010年Moriond仍然是一个独特而绝佳的机会，既可以宣传令人印象深刻的美国粒子物理科学计划，同时也可以通过允许我们最有才华的年轻科学家在这两个主要的欧洲论坛上发表他们的最新成果，从而为他们提供额外的知名度。将作出特别努力，鼓励妇女和少数民族参与。

This grant provides partial support for young physicists to attend either of the two sequential 46th Rencontres de Moriond conferences to be held in La Thuile, Italy: (1) Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories (March 13-20, 2011) and (2) QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions (March 20-27, 2011). Moriond meetings in 2011 are transitional since, besides the experimental results to be reported from U.S.-based CDF, D0, PHENIX and STAR, increasing importance will be placed on the preparation for the LHC physics and commissioning of the detectors, in which the U.S. scientists play a major role. With LHC experiments being in the full commissioning mode with the first LHC beam data and vast amount of cosmics collected with the fully operational detectors in their underground experimental halls, one expects an increased number of LHC talks at the 2011 Moriond conference. Consequently, the 2010 Moriond remains a unique and excellent opportunity to both advertise the impressive U.S. science program in particle physics and at the same time to give our most talented young scientists extra visibility by allowing them to deliver their latest results at these two major European forums. Special efforts will be made to encourage women and minorities to participate.
