Experiments in Particle and Nuclear Physics

伦斯勒理工学院的纳波利塔诺小组正在夸克和中微子两个领域进行味道物理学的实验研究。 特别强调的是工作，将阐明CP违反的性质。这是一个包含粒子物理学和天体物理学关键问题的突出问题。 在夸克部分，研究包括对CLEO-c实验计划的贡献。 一种方法是通过测量中性D介子CP本征态混合的Ks π + π-末态。另一种是通过chi（cj）- gamma J/psi衰变中的M2/E1振幅比测量粲夸克的反常磁矩。 在微中子研究方面，研究小组的工作重点是大亚湾微中子振荡实验，该小组正在为μ子否决屏蔽和详细的模拟研究做出贡献。 研究生和本科生正在为研究计划做出贡献。

The Napolitano Group at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is studying experimentally the physics of flavor, in both the quark and neutrino sectors. Particular emphasis is given to work that would elucidate the character of CP violation. This is an outstanding problem encompassing key issues in particle physics and astrophysics. In the quark sector, the research includes contributions to the CLEO-c experimental program. One approach is through the measurement of the Ks pi+ pi- final state for CP eigenstate mixtures of neutral D mesons. The other is a measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the charm quark, through the M2/E1 amplitude ratio in chi (cj) - gamma J/psi decay. In the neutrino sector, the research effort focuses on the Daya Bay Neutrino Oscillation experiment, in which the group is contributing to the muon veto shield and to detailed simulation studies. Graduate and undergraduate students are contributing to the research program.
