CAREER: New Trigger Instrumentation and Precision Measurements with the CMS Detector at the Super-LHC

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该CAREER提案描述了一个详细的研究计划，该计划将允许在具有挑战性的高亮度质子-质子碰撞环境中进行CMS实验的精确测量。该提案整合了CMS数据的分析、探测器性能模型的验证、升级跟踪探测器和触发硬件的设计，以及普渡大学已经在进行的新型像素探测器传感器的开发。它扩展了优秀的传感器开发和探测器制造设施，包括数据采集系统的电子开发，并将通过硬件开发为物理和工程本科学生提供培训，这将大大降低国家QuarkNet计划所需的设备成本。最后，该建议建立在现有的服务学习课程的基础上，该课程通过本科生的参与为高中教师提供帮助，这已被证明可以显著提高教师和学生对外展工作的参与。计划将服务学习概念介绍给其他QuarkNet中心，并协助这些中心建立遵循该模型的程序。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This CAREER proposal describes a detailed research plan that will allow precision measurements with the CMS experiment to be carried out in the challenging environment of very high luminosity proton-proton collisions. The proposal integrates the analysis of CMS data, the validation of detector performance models and the design of upgraded tracking detector and trigger hardware with the development of new pixel detector sensors that is already being carried out at Purdue University. It extends the excellent sensor development and detector fabrication facilities to include electronics development for data acquisition systems and will provide training for undergraduate physics and engineering students through the development of hardware that will significantly reduce the cost of equipment needed for the national QuarkNet program. Finally, this proposal builds on an existing Service-Learning course that provides assistance to high school teachers through the involvement of undergraduates which has been shown to significantly increase teacher and student participation on outreach efforts. It is planned for the Service-Learning concept to be presented to other QuarkNet centers with assistance to these centers in setting up programs that follow this model.
