Third Pan American Symposium on Perspectives for Pan American Collaboration in Experimental Particle Physics; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; October 19 - 23, 1987

该奖项为将于1987年10月在巴西里约热内卢举行的第三次泛美合作研讨会“泛美实验物理合作前景”提供部分支持。研讨会由费米国家加速器实验室的Leon M. Lederman博士与巴西物理研究中心高能实验物理实验室的Alberto P.S. Santoro博士合作组织。在研讨会期间，将对高能粒子物理的现状进行回顾，并对其他物理领域进行综述。专题讨论会的目的是增加拉丁美洲对高能物理学及其相关技术的参与，并探讨在这一科学领域进行半球内合作的机会。高能物理学本身是现代科学探索的一个重要领域，同时也为各种类型的科学努力提供培训，因此有助于发展一般的科学基础设施。在拉丁美洲国家有能力建造更多自己的加速器之前，这次研讨会可以刺激和协助形成可以使用美国设施的高能物理小组。1982年和1983年这一领域的前两次专题讨论会非常成功地激发了重要的合作努力，其中拉丁美洲人为在美国进行的合作实验做出了重大贡献，并从他们在美国的经验中受益匪浅。此外，就物理教育而言，这些合作努力的杠杆效应可能是巨大的，每个拉丁美洲教师或研究人员反过来可能影响数百名学生或同事。总的来说，这次研讨会的科学和教育效益都是巨大的。

This award provides partial support for the cooperatively organized Third Pan American Symposium on "Perspectives for Pan American Collaboration in Experimental Physics" to be held in Rio de Janeiro in October, 1987. The Symposium is being organized by Dr. Leon M. Lederman of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in cooperation with Dr. Alberto P.S. Santoro of the Laboratory of High Energy Experimental Physics of the Brazilian Center for Physics Research, Rio de Janeiro. During the Symposium a review of the status of high energy particle physics and a survey of other physics fields will be presented. The aims of the Symposium are to increase Latin American participation in high energy physics and in its associated technology and to explore opportunities for intra-Hemispheric cooperation in this scientific area. High energy physics, while of itself a vital field of modern scientific exploration, also provides training for diverse types of scientific endeavors, and therefore aids in the development of a general scientific infrastructure. Until such time as Latin American countries can afford to build more of their own accelerators, this Symposium can stimulate and assist in the formation of high-energy physics groups which can use U.S. facilities. The two previous symposia in this field, in 1982 and 1983, were quite successful in stimulating important collaborative efforts in which Latin Americans made substantial contributions to collaborative experiments conducted in the U.S., and benefited greatly from their experience here. In addition, the effect of the leverage of these collaborative efforts can be great in terms of physics education, with each Latin American teacher or researcher affecting in turn perhaps hundreds of students or colleagues. Overall, both the scientific and educational benefits of this Symposium can be expected to be large.
