ARFMP: Modernization of Research Space for Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

这项由研究设施办公室授予耶鲁大学的学术研究设施现代化计划(ARFMP)奖为斯隆物理实验室的维修和翻新提供资金，斯隆物理实验室是该机构原子、分子和光学物理研究和研究培训活动的所在地。这座建筑建于1912年，最后一次翻修是在1958年。受赠人提供的950,000美元和1,183,400美元的ARFMP赠款作为费用分摊将用于这些研究和研究培训设施的现代化，并整合几个高质量的研究计划。该项目将通过提供(A)对进行高精度实验绝对必要的热和振动隔离，(B)足够的清洁度，以及(C)大型磁铁和电源的结构合理的位置，来解决当前研究基础设施的重大缺陷。从这一革新中产生的相关项目之间的更大互动有望加强合作，提高正在进行的研究的质量。该奖项通过为开展研究和培养高质量的本科生和研究生提供一个更好的环境，为科学的基础设施做出贡献。在这些开发和使用高科技仪器的实验室接受培训的学生，在基础和应用研究领域都很受欢迎。

This Academic Research Facilities Modernization Program (ARFMP) award from the Research Facilities Office to Yale University provides funds for the repair and renovation of Sloan Physics Laboratory which houses that institution's atomic, molecular, and optical physics research and research training activities. This building was constructed in 1912 and last renovated in 1958. The ARFMP grant of $950,000 and $1,183,400 provided by the grantee as cost sharing will be used to modernize these research and research training facilities and consolidate several high quality research programs. The project will address significant disadvantages of the current research infrastructure by providing (a) thermal and vibrational isolation that is absolutely essential to the conduct of high precision experiments, (b) adequate levels of cleanliness, and (c) structurally sound locations for large magnets and power supplies. The greater interactions among related programs that accrue from this renovation can be expected to enhance collaborations and the quality of ongoing research. This award contributes to the infrastructure of science by providing an improved environment for the conduct of research and for the training of quality undergraduate and graduate students. Students trained in these laboratories, where high technology instruments are developed and used, are in demand in both basic and applied research fields.
