High Energy Physics Research with CLEO and DO

这笔拨款将用于支持b（美）夸克的研究，b（美）夸克是已发现的六种夸克之一。b夸克是最重的稳定夸克。这使得人们可以对其性质进行许多研究。我们需要了解这些特性，以了解不同类型的夸克是如何相互联系的。这个实验的最终目标是理解为什么大自然打破了一些对称性——例如，为什么宇宙是由物质而不是反物质组成的。

This grant will support studies of the b (beauty) quark, one of the six types of quarks which have been discovered. The b quark is the heaviest stable quark. This allows many studies to be made of its properties. We need to develop an understanding of these properties to learn how the different types of quarks are related to each other. The ultimate goal of this experiment is to understand why nature breaks some symmetries - for example, why the Universe is comprised of matter and not anti-matter.
