Highly Ionizing Particles at Accelerators and Low Energy Antiprotons in Cosmic Rays (Physics)

该项目将部分支持两项活动：1.继续研究高能碰撞中产生的高电离粒子。日本的费米实验室和高能物理实验室正在进行实验。2.一项在100-1700 MeV范围内测量空间反质子通量随能量变化的新实验。这项实验是与波士顿大学、印第安纳大学和密歇根大学的其他研究人员合作进行的。过去寻找磁单极子的工作具有根本性的重要性。该小组开创了蚀刻材料技术，以寻找高电离粒子。那些物理学家非常有资格进行这项研究。建议使用NSF支持。

This project would partially support two activities: 1. A continuation of the study of heavily ionizing particles produced in high energy collisions. Experiments are in progress at Fermilab and the High Energy Physics Laboratory in Japan. 2. A new experiment to measure the flux of antiprotons in space as a function of energy between 100 and 1700 MeV. This experiment is in collaboration with others at Boston University, Indiana University and the University of Michigan. Past work on the search for magnetic monopoles has been of fundamental importance. The group has pioneered the technique of etched materials to search for heavily ionizing particles. Those physicists are superbly qualified to perform the research. NSF support is recommended.
