A Comprehensive Study of Direct Photon Production in Hadron Induced Collisions, U.S.-India Cooperative Research, Award in Indian Currency

该项目支持德里大学物理系的R. Shivpuri博士和他的一些研究生与费米实验室的一组美国科学家进行合作研究。美国团队包括费米实验室的约翰·帕恩斯博士。以及罗切斯特大学的保罗·斯拉特里博士。印度科学家和研究生将参加费米实验室的一个多机构实验。E706实验旨在研究质子、介子和介子在各种目标中的相互作用，触发高横向动量（5 GeV/C）电磁阵雨。它是第二代固定目标实验，使用高能束（来自费米实验室Tevatron的800 GeV质子）和宽接受光谱仪，旨在达到约10 GeV/C。实验的一个目标是获得夸克和胶子在正介子、负介子和质子与核子碰撞时相互作用的信息。印度科学家的参与包括建造探测器、数据采集和数据分析。范围：这是目前在费米实验室Peoples博士、罗切斯特大学P. Slattery博士和德里大学R. Shivpuri博士领导下的工作的更新。这种合作被认为是相当成功的，并产生了一些联合出版物。该项目符合美印合作科学计划的目标。

Description: This project supports Dr. R. Shivpuri of the Physics Department at the University of Delhi, and a number of his graduate students, for collaborative research with a team of U.S. scientists working at Fermi Laboratory. The U.S. team includes Dr. John Peoples at Fermi Lab. and Dr. Paul Slattery at the Universsity of Rochester. The Indian scientists and graduate students will participate in a multi-institution experiment at Fermi Laboratory. The experiment E706 is designed to study interactions of protons, pions and kaons in a variety of targets, triggering on high transverse momentum (5 GeV/C) electromagnetic showers. It is a second generation fixed target experiment using high energy beams (800 GeV protons from Fermilab Tevatron) and with a wide acceptance spectrometer, it is intended to reach approximately 10 GeV/C. A goal of the experiment is to obtain information on quark and gluon interactions in collisions of positive pions, negative pions and protons with nucleons. The Indian scientists participation includes building detectors, data acquisition and data analysis. Scope: This is a renewal of work currently under the leadership of Dr. Peoples at Fermilab, Dr. P. Slattery of the University of Rochester, and of Dr. R. Shivpuri of the University of Delhi. The collaboration is considered quite successful, and a number of joint publications have resulted. The project fits the U.S.- India Cooperative Science Program objectives.
