Comprehensive Study of Direct Photon Production in Hadron Induced Collisions, Award in Indian and U.S. Currencies

项目描述：本项目为四名印度科学家和研究生提供生活费，供他们参加费米实验室的多机构实验。E706实验旨在研究质子、介子和介子在各种目标中的相互作用，触发高横向动量（5 GeV/c）电磁阵雨。这是第二代固定目标实验，使用高能束（来自费米实验室Tevatron的800 GeV质子）和宽接受光谱仪，旨在达到约10 GeV/c。本实验的主要目的是通过研究正介子、负介子和质子与核子碰撞时直接光子及其伴随强子的产率来获得夸克和胶子相互作用的信息。印度科学家的参与包括设计和建造探测器，为数据分析和相关软件建立多处理器系统。范围：这是德里大学物理系R. Shivpuri博士领导的同一个印度团队和费米实验室Lederman博士领导的美国团队所做的工作的更新。罗彻斯特大学的Tom Ferbel和P. Slattery，分别获得了国家科学基金资助的int8514766和int8500817。这次合作非常成功，对双方都有很大的价值。资助：本项目有两项资助：(1)INT-8815082，资助费米实验室Leon Lederman博士，为期三年。每年6万美元，加上8900美元的印度货币。(2)授予德里大学R. Shivpuri博士INT-8905213，为期三年，第一年相当于138,514美元，第二年和第三年每年相当于80,000美元的印度卢比。

Description: This project provides living expenses for four Indian scientists and graduate students to participate in a multi-institution experiment at Fermi Laboratory. The experiment E706 is designed to study interactions of protons, pions and kaons in a variety of targets, triggering on high transverse momentum ( 5 GeV/c) electromagnetic showers. It is a second generation fixed target experiment using high energy beams (800 GeV protons from Fermilab Tevatron) and with a wide acceptance spectrometer, intended to reach approximately 10 GeV/c. The primary goal of this experiment is to obtain iformation on quark and gluon interactions by studying the yield of direct photons and their accompanying hadrons in collisions of positive pions, negative pions and protons with nucleons. The Indian scientists participation includes designing and building detectors, setting up multi-processor systems for data analysis and associated software. Scope: This is a renewal for work done by the same Indian team under Dr. R. Shivpuri of the Physics Department, University of Delhi and by the U.S. team under Dr. Lederman of Fermi Lab and Drs. Tom Ferbel and P. Slattery of the University of Rochester, under NSF grants INT-8514766, and INT-8500817 respectively. The collaboration is proving to be highly successful and of great value to the two sides. Funding: This project is being funded under 2 grants: (1) INT-8815082 to Dr. Leon Lederman, Fermi Laboratory for three years. Each year U.S. $60,000, plus $8,900 in Indian Currency. (2) INT-8905213 to Dr. R. Shivpuri, University of Delhi, for three years, in Indian rupees equivalent to $138,514 first year and $80,000 each of second and third years.
