Particle Physics at High Energy Colliders

本提案要求支持密歇根州立大学的一个小组在费米实验室Tevatron -反质子对撞机的CDF实验和日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心（Cern）质子-质子大型强子对撞机（LHC）的ATLAS实验的基础上，开展实验基本粒子物理的研究和教育项目。自1992年以来，密歇根州立大学小组一直是CDF实验的成员。该小组主要负责Run II的新插入式热量计升级，新的中央跟踪器，μ子系统升级和新的中央预散热器探测器。他们积极从事量子光盘物理的分析。该小组在ATLAS上的工作包括强子量热计子系统的建造和测试，包括闪烁体瓦和光纤。密歇根州立大学小组的成员让本科生和高中教师和学生参与他们的研究活动。该小组是QuarkNet的成员，QuarkNet是一个多机构的努力，旨在让高中教师和学生参与粒子物理研究。

This proposal requests support for a group at Michigan State University for a program of research and education in experimental elementary particle physics based on the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider and on the ATLAS experiment at the proton-proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, Geneva. The MSU group has been a member of the CDF experiment since 1992. The group has major responsibilities to the Run II upgrades for the new plug calorimeters, to the new central tracker, to the muon system upgrade and to a new central pre-radiator detector. They are actively engaged in the analyses of QCD physics. The group's work on ATLAS involves the construction and testing of the hadron calorimeter subsystem, involving scintillator tiles and optical fibers.Members of the MSU group are involving undergraduates and high school teachers and students in their research activities. The group is a member of QuarkNet, the multi-institutional effort to involve high school teachers and their students in particle physics research.
