Presidential Young Investigator Award: High Energy Heavy Ion Collisions (Physics)

由这位总统资助的研究工作 青年研究员补助金最初将集中在两个 领域：在欧洲核子研究中心进行实验;并准备 RHIC（美国相对论重离子对撞机） 的 CERN的工作将在NA 44实验上进行，该实验研究 高能重离子碰撞聚焦谱仪 在头两年，将进行实验 质子和硫束;之后，更重的光束， 铅将可供使用（到1992年至1993年）。 为RHIC做出的努力 将涉及在皮特的硅漂移室开发工作 布鲁克海文国家实验室，最终指导 在小型接受光谱仪中使用这种装置 适用于π干涉测量。

Research efforts funded by this Presidential Young Investigator grant initially will be concentrated in two areas: carrying out experiments at CERN; and preparing for experiments at RHIC (U.S. Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider). The CERN work will be performed on the NA44 experiment, which studies high energy heavy.ion collisions with a focussing spectrometer. In the first two years, experiments will be carried out with proton and sulfur beams; after that, heavier beams such as lead will become available (by 1992.1993). Efforts for RHIC will involve silicon drift chamber development work at Pitt and Brookhaven National Laboratory, ultimately directed toward using this device in a small acceptance spectrometer suitable for pion interferometry measurements.
