US-Turkey Cooperative Research: CMS Forward Calorimetry at LHC/CERN

9820258OnelDescription：该奖项支持由爱荷华州爱荷华市爱荷华大学物理系Yasar Onel教授领导的美国团队与土耳其安卡拉中东技术大学物理系Mehmet Zeyrek教授领导的土耳其团队之间的合作研究项目。这些科学家计划开发能够在高辐射环境下工作的特殊量热计。这种量热计在实验粒子物理领域具有重要意义，将用于大型强子对撞机（LHC）紧凑型介子电磁（CMS）高能物理实验的一个子系统（甚前向量热计HF）。双方团队将研究热量计配置和装配场景的详细方案，对选定的高频环境石英光纤（QF）量热计的一些关键部件进行适当的工程解决方案性能测试，并对预期的量热计性能进行相关仿真，提出设计优化建议。范围：该项目将支持两个具有互补资格和机构设施的科学团队之间的合作。在爱荷华大学和美国能源部的资助下，这位美国科学家在实验粒子物理学方面非常活跃。他将与他的大学的两位教授和几名研究生一起努力。土耳其团队包括几位教授和研究生，他们分别来自M.E.T.U.和土耳其阿达纳的库库罗瓦大学。两所大学都积极与欧洲核子研究中心合作开展高能物理研究。土耳其科学机构（TUBITAK）正在提供SFr。100万给CMS-HF建设项目，表明对这项研究的坚定承诺。该项目非常符合国际项目部支持互利合作研究的目标。

9820258OnelDescription: This award supports a collaborative research project between a US team, headed by Professor Yasar Onel, Department of Physics, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, and a Turkish team headed by Professor Mehmet Zeyrek, Department of Physics, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey. These scientists plan to work on the development of special calorimeters capable of operating in very high radiation environments. Such calorimeters are important in the field of experimental particle physics, and will be used in a subsystem (the Very Forward Calorimeter HF) of the high-energy physics experiment, Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The two teams will study the detailed scheme of the calorimeter configuration and assembly scenario, test the performance of appropriate engineering solutions of some critical components of the quartz fiber (QF) calorimeter which has been selected for the HF environment, and perform the relevant simulation of expected calorimeter performance and give a recommendation for design optimization. Scope: This project will support collaboration between two scientific teams with complementary qualifications and institutional facilities. The US scientist has been quite active in experimental particle physics with funding from the University of Iowa and the Department of Energy. He will include with him in this effort from his university two professors and several graduate students. The Turkish team includes several professors and graduate students from M.E.T.U. and from Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey. Both universities have been active in high-energy physics research in collaboration with CERN. The Turkish science agency (TUBITAK) is contributing SFr. 1.0M to the CMS-HF construction project, indicating a strong commitment to this research. The project fits well within the objectives of the Division of International Programs for support of mutually beneficial collaborative research.
