Elementary Particle Physics Using High Energy Accelerators

该提案请求支持华盛顿大学高能物理小组的研究计划，以继续他们在费米实验室的强子对撞机[1]的D0探测器和[2]在瑞士日内瓦的CERN实验室运行的大型强子对撞机计划的ATLAS探测器的建造工作。在D0实验方面，华盛顿小组主要负责目前正在进行的D0探测器升级；具体地说，3级触发/数据采集系统和前向Muon系统。该小组还致力于全面参与升级后的探测器的安装和调试。按计划，D0探测器将于2001年3月恢复数据采集，该小组将继续主要负责L3触发器/DAQ和Forward Muon系统的运行。他们还致力于D0‘S Run 2物理计划，并将在TOP和Higgs物理组工作。在ATLAS实验中，该小组主要负责ATLAS前向介子室的关键支撑结构和运动学支架的设计。他们将建造总共96个前室，其中约48个将在2000-2002年期间完工。该小组承担了所有ATLAS Muon探测器控制系统设计的主要责任。这项工作将从设计和实现Muon测试束的控制系统开始。

This proposal requests support for the research program of the high energy physics group at the University of Washington to continue their hadron collider work on [1] the D0 detector at Fermilab and [2] on construction of the ATLAS detector for the LHC program to be run at the CERN laboratory in Geneva Switzerland.On the D0 experiment, the Washington group has majorresponsibility for the D0 detector upgrade currently under way; specifically, the Level 3 Trigger / Data Acquisition System and forward muon system. The group is also committed to full participation in the installation and commissioning of the upgraded detector. In March 2001 the D0 detector is scheduled to resume data taking, and this group will have an ongoing major responsibility for operation of both the L3 Trigger/DAQ and forward muon systems. They are also committed to D0's Run 2 physics program and will work in the top and Higgs physics groups.On the ATLAS experiment, this group has centralresponsibility for the design of the critical support structure and kinematic mounts for the ATLAS forward muon chambers. They will fabricate a total of 96 forward chambers, of which about 48 will be complete in the period 2000 - 2002. This group has assumed the lead responsibility for the design of the control system for all of the ATLAS muon detectors. This work will start with the design and implementation of a control system for the muon test beam.
