Comprehensive Study of Direct Photon Production in Hadron Induced Collisions, Award in Indian Currency

描述：该项目为四名印度科学家和研究生提供生活费用，让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(5GeV/c)的电磁簇射。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)和广泛接受的光谱仪，这个实验的主要目的是通过研究正子、负子和质子与核子碰撞中直接光子及其伴随的强子的产额，获得关于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，建立用于数据分析的多处理器系统和相关软件。范围：这是同一个印度团队在物理系R.Shivpui博士的领导下所做工作的更新，德里大学和费米实验室的莱德曼博士以及罗切斯特大学的汤姆·费贝尔和P·斯莱特里博士领导的美国团队分别获得了美国国家科学基金会INT-8514766和INT-8500817的拨款。事实证明，这种合作非常成功，对双方都有重要价值。资金：该项目由两笔赠款资助：(1)向费米实验室的Leon Lederman博士提供INT-8815082，为期三年。每年6万美元，外加8900美元的印度货币。(2)向德里大学R·希夫普里博士提供INT-8905213，为期三年，第一年相当于138,514美元的印度卢比，第二年和第三年各80,000美元。

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.
