Experimental Physics Research Program at Columbia University/Nevis Laboratories: GROUP PROPOSAL

该项目包括以下部分：1)在大型强子对撞机上建造美国ATLAS探测器项目，在瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心实验室建造一台7TeV的7TeV质子-质子对撞机。这台机器及其探测器将定义下一个能量前沿；2)正在费米国家加速器实验室(费米实验室)进行重大升级的D0实验，这是一台1.8TeV的质子-反质子对撞机，处于当前能量前沿的实验；3)宙斯实验，在德国汉堡DESY的电子-质子对撞机上，用世界上最高能量的电子显微镜探测质子的结构；4)NuTeV实验，它成功地在费米国家加速器实验室使用了一种新的中微子束，以一种与电子互补的方式探测核子结构；5)费米实验室的Mini Boone建造项目，可以提供有关中微子质量的新信息；6)犹他州Dugway的宇宙射线探测器项目，将探测自然界中迄今见过的最高能量的宇宙射线。7)一个创新的“电子泡泡”项目，该项目还包括通过Quarknet的一个新的教育宣传部分。这些活动由哥伦比亚大学尼维斯实验室的设施提供支持。

This project has the following components:1) the US ATLAS detector construction project at the LHC, a 7 TeV on 7 TeV proton-proton collider under construction at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. This machine and its detectors will define the next energy frontier;2) the D0 experiment now undergoing a major upgrade at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), a 1.8 TeV proton-antiproton collider, an experiment at the current energy frontier;3)the ZEUS experiment, at the electron-proton collider at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, which probes the structure of the proton with the world's highest energy electron microscope;4) the NuTeV experiment, that has successfully used a new neutrino beam at Fermilab, to probe the nucleon structure in a manner complementary to electrons;5) the MiniBoone construction project at Fermilab, which can provide new information on neutrino mass;6) the HiRes cosmic ray detector project in Dugway, Utah, which will detect cosmic rays at the highest energies yet seen in nature. 7) an innovative "e-bubble" project, which also includes a new education-outreach component through Quarknet. These activities are supported by the facilities of Columbia's Nevis Laboratories.
