U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Particle Physics Phenomenology and Particle Astrophysics

这项来自美国-巴西合作科学计划的奖项将支持威斯康星大学的弗朗西斯·哈尔岑、弗农·巴格和迪特尔·泽彭菲尔德博士在理论物理方面的合作研究，麦迪逊和由巴西圣保罗大学的吉尔·达·科斯塔·马奎斯博士领导的一个小组。该项目的重点是高能物理的一般领域。这项研究将致力于理解自然力的“标准模型”，以及宇宙射线中高能中微子和光子源的现象学。这项工作的主要主题将是对撞机物理、未来加速器和粒子天体物理。这一合作将有助于扩大这两个机构的实验物理学家之间已经开始的合作基础。

This award from the U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Science Program will support collaborative research in theoretical physics to be conducted by Drs. Francis Halzen, Vernon Barger and Dieter Zeppenfeld of the University ofWisconsin, Madison and by a group led by Dr. Gil da Costa Marques at the Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The focus us of the project is in the general area of high energy physics. The research will be concerned with the understanding of the "standard model" of the forces of nature and in the phenomenology of high energy neutrino and photon sources in cosmic rays. The major themes of the work will be collider physics, future accelerators and particle astrophysics. The collaboration will serve to broaden the base of cooperation that has been started between experimental physicists at the two institutions.
