RUI: Study of Photon-Parton Interactions in Hydrogen and Higher A Targets in the FNAL E683 High Transverse Momentum Jet Experiment

这项本科院校研究（RUI）项目的资助是为波尔州立大学物理系的一名教员提供的，用于参与费米实验室主要固定目标实验E683-高Pt射流的光生产的分析。Thomas教授从一开始就参与了这项实验（使用美国国家科学基金会的资助），并有效地将其作为波尔州立大学本科生的研究经验和硕士学位课程的研究项目。在他的最后一次资助中，有两名学生使用E683项目获得硕士学位，还有两名正在进行中。

This grant in the Research at Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) program is for a faculty member in the physics department at Ball State University to participate in the analysis of a major Fermilab fixed target experiment, E683- Photoproduction of High Pt Jets. Prof. Thomas has been a participant in the experiment (using an NSF grant) from its inception and has effectively used it as a research experience for Ball State undergraduates and as the research project for their masters degree program. Two students used projects in E683 to earn their masters degrees during his last grant and two are in progress.
