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Jawahery和Roberts的粒子物理小组在瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心的LHC对撞机的LHCb实验中研究重味和cp违反的物理学。马里兰小组是该合作的新机构成员，将在其当前配置和即将进行的升级中为实验做出技术和分析贡献。当前实验的技术重点将强调跟踪软件和风味标记、操作和数据分析，升级后的实验将强调跟踪和颗粒识别。分析重点将强调该小组在粲子衰变和环主导B介子衰变的CP违背研究方面的专业知识。该项目更广泛的影响包括吸引来自代表性不足群体的高中生和本科生在位于马里兰州大学公园校园的该组织的照片探测器实验室进行科学研究。

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.
