This collaborative award will support personnel to complete a commensal search for the recently discovered Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) using the 20-m telescope at Green Bank at L-band (1.4 GHz). The project, GBTrans, will utilize existing infrastructure and development. Broader impacts of the work include research training of one graduate student and two undergrads, and outreach to high-school students and their teachers to enhance the research experience as part of the NSF-funded "Pulsar Search Collaboratory" which is run by researchers at NRAO and WVU.GBTrans will also perform extensive searches for giant pulses from known radio pulsars, and will provide constraints on the statistics of the brightest such pulses. An important capability of the instrument is its full-polarization recording, which will identify the polarization properties of FRBs and perhaps even their rotation measures.

该合作奖将支持人员使用位于Green Bank的20米望远镜在l波段（1.4 GHz）完成对最近发现的快速射电暴（frb）的共同搜索。该项目名为GBTrans，将利用现有的基础设施和开发。这项工作的更广泛影响包括对一名研究生和两名本科生的研究培训，以及向高中生和他们的老师推广，以提高研究经验，这是美国国家科学基金会资助的“脉冲星搜索合作实验室”的一部分，该实验室由NRAO和WVU的研究人员运营。GBTrans还将对来自已知射电脉冲星的巨大脉冲进行广泛搜索，并将提供最亮脉冲的统计限制。该仪器的一个重要功能是它的全偏振记录，这将识别快速射电暴的偏振特性，甚至可能是它们的旋转测量。
