Experimental Particle Physics

这一行动将为继续进行基本粒子物理学的基础研究提供资金。该计划包括利用美国所有四个主要高能物理加速器设施进行的实验：费米实验室的Tevatron；布鲁克海文的交流梯度同步加速器；康奈尔大学的电子位置存储环CESR；以及SLAC的线性电子位置对撞机。这些实验处于规划、建设、数据采集和分析的不同阶段。位于德国汉堡的DESY正在建造一台用于研究电子-质子碰撞的加速器，哥伦比亚大学的一个小组正在参与一项合作，以建造一个主要的粒子探测器--宙斯。哥伦比亚计划是一组不同的实验，旨在解决基本粒子物理学中的基本问题。

This action will provide funds for a continuation of basic research in elementary particle physics. The program consists of experiments utilizing all four of the major high energy physics accelerator facilities in the U.S.: the Tevatron at Fermilab; the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron at Brookhaven; the electron - position storage ring, CESR, at Cornell; and the linear electron - position collider at SLAC. These experiments are in various stages of planning, construction, data taking and analysis. An accelerator is being constructed for the study of electron - proton collision, at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, where a Columbia group is participating in a collaboration to build a major particle detector, Zeus. The Columbia program is a varied group of experiments addressing fundamental questions in elementary particle physics.
