Experimental Research in the Physics of Elementary Particles

这一行动将继续支持一个由两名高级研究人员和学生组成的活跃小组进行高能介子从原子核散射的实验。这些数据是在费米实验室的Tevatron加速器上收集的。费米实验室实验E665“强子探测的深度非弹性Muon散射”于1985年夏天首次暴露在Muon束中。1990年3月，实验准备开始最后一次运行。到目前为止，已经完成了对重型核目标的散布研究。到1992年1月，氢和氚的散射数据应该是完整的，并开始最终分析。这些实验探索核物质的结构和强相互作用粒子的形成过程。它与核物质和电子质子碰撞对中微子的散射密切相关，也得到了国家科学基金会的支持。在授权期的最后几年，其他活动将开始，包括超导超级对撞机的仪器开发。

This action will provide continued support for an active group of two senior investigators and students for experiments on the scattering of high energy muons from nuclei. The data is collected at Fermilab's Tevatron accelerator. Fermilab experiment E665, "Deep Inelastic Muon Scattering with Hadron Detection" was first exposed to the muon beam in the summer of 1985. In March of 1990 the experiment was prepared to begin its final run. To date, scattering studies have been completed with heavy nuclear targets. By January 1992, the scattering data from hydrogen and deuterium should be complete and the final analysis begun. These experiments probe the structure of nuclear matter and the formation processes for strongly interacting particles. It is closely related to the scattering of neutrinos by nuclear matter and electron proton collisions, also supported by the National Science Foundation. In the out years of the grant period, other activities will be started including instrumentation development for the Superconducting Super Collider.
