Presidential Young Investigator Award: Research in High Energy Physics

该奖项支持总统青年研究员乔伊·W·休斯顿博士在基本粒子物理学方面的研究。休斯顿博士参与了费米实验室一项实验(E706)的铅/液态氩量热计的设计、建造、安装和运行。通过分析介子、介子和质子与各种核靶碰撞中直接光子及其伴随的强子的产生，所获得的数据将使我们能够最好地确定强子的胶子结构函数，并研究胶子碎裂。

This award supports research in Elementary Particle Physics by Dr. Joey W. Huston, a Presidential Young Investigator. Dr. Huston has been involved in the design, construction, installation and running of the lead/liquid argon calorimeter for an experiment (E706) at Fermilab. The data taken will allow one of the best determination of the gluon structure function of hadrons and the investigation of gluon fragmentation through analysing the production of direct photons and their accompanying hadrons in collisions of pions, kaons and protons with a variety of nuclear targets.
