Accelerator Upgrade (Physics)

这笔赠款将提供资金，用于对 CN静电加速器在肯塔基州大学。 二... 该项目三分之一的费用将由国家承担， 肯塔基州。 此次升级将显著提高 用于脉冲中子束的核物理研究。 在 此外，它还将提供可靠的现代化设施， 新的应用研究项目，如EPSCOR资助的项目， “化学和生物科学中的核方法”， 从实验室开始。 这项为期两年的资助是由美国国家科学基金会共同资助的 核物理和EPSCOR程序。

This grant will provide funds toward a major upgrade of the CN electrostatic accelerator at the University of Kentucky. Two- thirds of the cost of the project will be borne by the state of Kentucky. The upgrade will significantly improve the capability for nuclear physics research with pulsed neutron beams. In addition, it will provide a reliable, modern facility for the new, applied research programs such as the EPSCOR-funded project, "Nuclear Methods in Chemical and Biological Sciences", being started at the laboratory. This two-year grant is being funded jointly by the NSF Nuclear Physics and EPSCOR Programs.
