Carleton technical team for particle physics research

这项拨款申请是为了资助一个技术团队，该团队为卡尔顿大学的粒子物理研究提供计算机和技术支持。该团队由一名设计师、一名电子专家、一名技术员以及一名软件和数据采集专家组成。该团队在设计、建造和安装粒子物理实验探测器以及为模拟和数据采集提供计算机支持方面拥有多年经验。过去的主要活动包括为欧洲核子研究中心、日内瓦的欧洲粒子物理实验室的实验建造仪器，以及为地下物理实验设计实验。对于欧洲核子研究中心，该小组建造了探测器来定位和测量粒子轨迹，具有高精度和非常密集的探测器来吸收和测量粒子的总能量。 在地下物理方面，为安大略萨德伯里的SNO探测器提供了水净化系统组件，为新墨西哥州的WIPP EXO探测器提供了工程。 在MRS赠款的任期内，该小组的拟议活动是协助位于安大略萨德伯里附近Vale Creighton矿的SNOLAB设计和开发创新探测器，以升级位于日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心的ATLAS探测器，并为未来的国际加速器进行开发工作。SNOLAB实验将探索难以捉摸的中微子的性质，并寻找似乎主导宇宙物质的“暗物质粒子”。ATLAS实验将探索广泛的物理学，包括新发现的类希格斯粒子的性质。探测器将为未来的加速器开发，包括位于意大利Cabibbo实验室的SuperB和国际直线对撞机（ILC），这是一台位于能源前沿的精密机器。该技术小组还将支持模拟软件和数据分析包，以及建立用于束流测试环境的数据采集系统的基础设施。

This grant application is to fund a technical team that provides computer and technical support at Carleton University for research in particle physics. This team consists of a designer, an electronics specialist, a technician and a software and data acquisition expert. This team of people has many years of experience in designing, building and installing detectors for particle physics experiments and in providing computer support for simulation and data acquisition. Highlights of past activities include apparatus built for experiments at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory in Geneva and experiment design for underground physics experiments. For CERN, the group built detectors to locate and measure particle tracks with high precision and very dense detectors to absorb and measure the total energy of particles. For underground physics provided components for the water purification system for the SNO Detector in Sudbury, Ontario and engineering for the EXO detector in WIPP New Mexico. The proposed activities of the group for the tenure of the MRS grant is to assist in the design and development of innovative detectors for SNOLAB located in the Vale Creighton mine near Sudbury, Ontario, for upgrades of the ATLAS detector located in CERN, Geneva and development work for future international accelerators. SNOLAB experiments will explore the properties of the elusive neutrino and look for "dark matter particles" that appear to dominate the material of the universe. The ATLAS experiment will explore a broad range of physics including the properties of the newly discovered Higgs-like particle. Detectors will be developed for future accelerators including SuperB located in the Cabibbo laboratory in Italy and the International Linear Collider (ILC), a precision machine at the energy frontier. The technical group will also be supporting simulation software and data analysis packages, as well as the establishment of infrastructure for data acquisition systems for beam test environments.
