Beauty at LHCb, Charm at CLEO-c

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。该奖项为锡拉丘兹大学高能物理组的研究计划提供持续支持。锡拉丘兹HEP小组是美国唯一一个在LHC B上进行实验的小组，该实验是在强子对撞机上设计的第一个研究B和c衰变的实验，它在LHC B的参与集中在顶点探测器，触发器，环形成像切伦科夫探测器，探测器对准和物理模拟领域。该实验将在一年内收集到比所有其他实验都要多得多的b-味强子样本。这些样品在确定新物理学方面可能至关重要，至少将设定一个新物理学可能有助于风味转变的较低质量尺度。锡拉丘兹小组正在准备一项名为超级LHCb的升级计划，以及时配合LHC本身的升级计划，称为超级LHC。其参与重点是用于升级顶点探测器和相关触发策略的新技术。它还参与了RD 50，这是一项旨在实现高抗辐射半导体探测器的研发合作，达到超级LHC的预期水平。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award provides continuing support for a program of research for the High Energy Physics group at Syracuse University. The Syracuse HEP group is the only U.S. group on LHCb - an experiment at the LHC designed as the first to study b and c decays at a hadron collider, Its participation in LHCb has been concentrated in the Vertex Locator, Trigger, Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector, detector alignment, and physics simulation areas. The experiment will collect much larger samples of b-flavored hadrons in one year, in most channels, than have already been gathered in all other experiments. These samples could be crucial in pinpointing new physics and, at least, will set a lower mass scale to which new physics might contribute to flavor transitions. The Syracuse group is preparing an upgrade called Super-LHCb to match in time the plans for the upgrade of the LHC itself, called Super-LHC. Its participation is focused on new technology for the upgraded vertex detector and associated trigger strategies. It also participate in RD50, an R&D collaboration aimed towards highly radiation resistant semiconductor detectors up to levels expected from Super-LHC.
