U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Measurement of the Flavor Singlet Form Factors of the Proton-The GO Experiment

这个为期两年的中能核物理合作研究奖项涉及伊利诺伊大学的托马斯·杰斐逊国家加速器设施和南达科他州巴黎大学物理核研究所的科学家，由道格拉斯·贝克和雅克·阿维约领导。它为NSF和能源部的一项实验--“G0”实验增添了国际维度。拟议的资金将促进美国和法国集团在开发为这项实验建造的价值800万美元的新光谱仪期间进行交流。美国调查人员负责为该实验建造超导磁体和液氢靶标。法国调查人员将为光谱仪建造八套探测器和电子设备中的四套。该实验计划于2000年夏秋两季在杰斐逊实验室安装，数据采集预计将于2001年初开始。

It adds an international dimension to a NSF and Department of Energy experiment, the "G0" experiment. The proposed funds will facilitate communications between the US and French groups during the development of a new $8 million spectrometer being constructed for this experiment. The US investigators are responsible for the construction of the superconducting magnet and liquid hydrogen target for the experiment. The French investigators will construct four of the eight sets of detectors and electronics for the spectrometer. The experiment is scheduled for installation at Jefferson Lab during the summer and fall of 2000, with data taking expected to begin in early 2001.
