Activities Related to a Linear Collider Project

为了进一步探索新发现的希格斯玻色子，并获得对新物理学更精确的理解，300至1000 GeV能量范围内的电子正电子对撞机将是一个强大的研究设施。目前有两种候选的e+e对撞机技术，一种是基于超导加速结构的国际直线对撞机（ILC），另一种是使用强驱动电子束驱动结构的紧凑型直线对撞机（CLIC）。该奖项支持纽约州立大学石溪分校的Paul Grannis教授作为美洲线性对撞机指导小组（LCSGA）成员继续参与和领导国际正电子对撞机工作。这一努力的更广泛影响是战略性的，使美国在全球科学的一个重要领域发挥了重要作用。

For the further exploration of the newly discovered Higgs boson and for gaining more precise understanding of new physics, an electron positron collider operating in the 300 to 1000 GeV energy range would be a powerful research facility. Two candidate e+e- collider technologies exist, the International Linear Collider (ILC) based upon superconducting accelerating structures, and the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) using structures powered by an intense drive beam of electrons. This award supports the continued participation and leadership of Prof Paul Grannis of SUNY at Stony Brook in the international electron positron collider effort as a member of the Linear Collider Steering Group of the Americas (LCSGA). The broader impacts of the effort are strategic, giving the US a significant role in an important area of global science.
