U.S.-China Collaboration on the Interpretation of Fly's Eye Eas Results using the Chinese Emulsion Data

该奖项为物理学基金9100221提供了补充资金，该基金为高分辨率眼睛探测器的建设提供了支持，这是一套使科学家能够研究最高能量宇宙射线的性质和起源的仪器。该奖项提供的额外资金将允许美国科学家与中国科学家合作，后者正在中国进行另一项实验，将照相乳剂暴露在宇宙射线下。中国实验产生的数据是对美国实验数据的补充，通过这种合作，两个小组都可以随时访问每个数据体进行比较。中国的设施位于西藏，如果没有这种合作，美国科学家不太可能获得在那里获得的数据。中国科学家还将访问美国，直接与美国犹他州实验室的科学家团队合作。

This award provides supplemental funds to Physics grant 9100221 which provided support for construction of the high resolution eye detector, a set of instrumentation which allows scientists to study the nature and origin of the highest energy cosmic rays. The additional funding provided in this award will allow the US scientists to work with Chinese scientists who are conducting another experiment, in China, which exposes photographic emulsion to cosmic rays. Data produced by the Chinese experiment is complementary to the data from the US experiment, and through this collaboration, both groups will have ready access to each body of data for comparison. The Chinese facility is located in Tibet, and without cooperation of this kind, it would be unlikely that US scientists would have access to the data obtained there. Chinese scientists will also visit the US to work directly with the team of scientists at the US facility in Utah.
