Experimental Study of Heavy Flavor and CP Violation with the LHCb Experiment at the CERN LHC Collider

该奖项支持马里兰大学的Jwahery和Roberts的粒子物理学小组在瑞士日内瓦CERN的LHC对撞机的LHCb实验中研究重气味和CP破坏的物理学。马里兰州小组是合作的新机构成员，将在目前的配置和即将进行的升级中为实验做出技术和分析贡献。目前实验的技术重点将侧重于跟踪软件和风味标签、操作和数据分析，以及升级后的实验、跟踪和颗粒识别。分析的重点将强调该小组在魅力衰变和环主导的B介子衰变的CP破坏研究方面的专业知识。该计划的更广泛影响包括让来自代表性不足群体的高中生和本科生参与该组织位于马里兰州大学公园校园的光探测器实验室的科学在手研究。

This award supports the Particle Physics Group of Jawahery and Roberts at the University of Maryland to study the physics of heavy flavor and CP-violation at the LHCb Experiment at the LHC Collider at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. The Maryland group is a new institutional member of the collaboration and will be making both technical and analytical contributions to the experiment in its current configuration, and forthcoming upgrades. The technical focus for the current experiment will emphasize tracking software and flavor tagging, operations and data analysis and, for the upgraded experiment, tracking and particle identification. The analytical focus will emphasize the group's expertise in CP violation studies of charm decays and loop-dominated B meson decays. Broader impacts of the program include engaging high school students and undergraduate students from underrepresented groups in science in hands research in the group's Photo Detector Laboratory on the campus in College Park, Maryland.
