Siena College will participate through the NSF RUI program in research at the Energy Frontier with the CMS Experiment located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. The participation will be facilitated through collaboration with the nearby CMS experimental group at Cornell University. The Siena team of PI Matt Bellis and undergraduate students will join efforts within CMS to search for rare and forbidden decays (including baryon number violating decays) of the top-quark, a particle which is produced prolifically at the LHC. The collaboration with the Cornell group means that Siena can access expertise and CMS specific information regarding data access, analysis procedures, and publication procedures. Analyses will be performed by the students at Siena. Broader impacts of the program include participation by the PI in the effort within CMS on open-access to data and outreach by the PI and his students to underrepresented and underserved students in physics in local community high schools in the greater Albany NY region.

锡耶纳学院将通过NSF Rui计划参与能源前沿的研究，CMS实验位于瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机(LHC)。通过与附近康奈尔大学的CMS实验小组合作，将促进参与。由Pi Matt Bellis和本科生组成的锡耶纳团队将在CMS内共同努力，寻找顶夸克的罕见和被禁止的衰变(包括违反重子数的衰变)，顶夸克是大型强子对撞机上大量产生的粒子。与康奈尔集团的合作意味着锡耶纳可以获得有关数据访问、分析程序和发布程序的专业知识和CMS特定信息。分析将由锡耶纳的学生进行。该计划的更广泛影响包括国际学生联合会参与CMS内部关于开放获取数据的努力，以及国际学生协会及其学生对纽约大奥尔巴尼地区当地社区高中物理专业代表不足和服务不足的学生的推广。
