ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker Instrumentation

MRI/OMA对基础设施的这一请求将使汉普顿大学的物理学家和学生研究小组能够开发和建造一种复杂的跟踪设备：用于位于瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)的大型强子对撞机(LHC)的ATLAS探测器的跃迁辐射跟踪器(TRT)。这项提案将允许代表不足的少数族裔参与EPP计划未来最优先的实验，与美国和国外其他大学的物理学家合作，并与附近的杰斐逊实验室合作。使用kev X射线的表面表征和过程控制；成像应用，包括生物成像和用于检查的成像；用于天体物理应用的探测器是这些探测器未来的可能用途。

This request for infrastructure from MRI/OMA will allow research groups of physicists and students at Hampton University to develop and construct a sophisticated tracking device: a Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) for the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland. This proposal will allow underrepresented minorities to participate in the highest priority future experiment of the EPP program, in collaboration with physicists from other universities in the US and aboard, and in collaboration with nearby Jefferson Laboratory. Surface characterization and process control using keV X-rays; imaging applications, including biological imaging and imaging for inspections; detectors for astrophysical applications are possible future uses of these detectors.
