Lepton 2014 Conference - Centerville, Massachusetts, July 21 - 24, 2014

该奖项为年轻科学家参加第五届轻子矩国际研讨会提供支持，该研讨会致力于研究轻子的基本性质。研讨会涵盖的主题包括寻找永久电偶极矩、电子和μ子磁矩以及μ子的轻子味破坏衰变。 这些领域对于我们理解物质和宇宙的形成都至关重要。 这次会议的不同寻常之处在于它汇聚了原子、核和粒子物理学领域的研究人员。 研究生和博士后参加此类会议的支持对于他们作为科学家的整体培训和发展至关重要。

This award provides support for young scientists to attend the 5th International Symposium on Lepton Moments, devoted to the study of fundamental properties of leptons. Topics covered at the symposium include the searches for permanent electric dipole moments, electron and muon magnetic moments, and lepton flavor violating decays of the muon. These areas are all of fundamental importance to our understanding of matter and the formation of the universe. This conference is unusual in that it brings together researchers in atomic, nuclear, and particle physics. The support of graduate students and postdocs to attend such a conference is critical to their overall training and development as scientists.
