CTEQ Summer School Funding

CTEQ合作是一个由来自18所大学和5个国家实验室的32名实验和理论高能物理学家组成的非正式小组，致力于推进量子色动力学的研究和理解。 量子色动力学（QCD）控制着基本粒子的强相互作用，它在高能下的研究越来越多地被基本粒子和核物理所分享。 CTEQ合作组织的活动之一是一系列CTEQ暑期学校，其目的是在年轻一代的高能和核物理学家，特别是实验学家中推广QCD及其在精密电弱物理和新物理研究中的应用。 该提案要求对2010年和2011年CTEQ暑期学校提供部分支持。CTEQ暑期学校对全球高能物理界的影响目前已得到各大实验室的认可。 大约有1000名物理学家参加了CTEQ学校。一些早期的学生已经成为最近学校的讲师。 这些学校的更广泛的影响是通过加强学生对基础物理学整体研究背景的认识而感受到的。学校的互动性也鼓励必要的技能沟通的兴奋和基础物理学的结果在合作和更广泛的公众。

The CTEQ Collaboration is an informal group of 32 experimental and theoretical high energy physicists from eighteen universities and five national labs, engaged in a program to advance research in and understanding of quantum chromodynamics. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) governs the strong interactions of elementary particles, and its study at high energies is increasingly shared by both elementary particle and nuclear physics. One of the activities organized by the CTEQ collaboration is a series of CTEQ Summer Schools whose aim is to promote knowledge of QCD and its applications to precision electroweak physics and new physics searches among the younger generation of high energy and nuclear physicists, especially experimentalists. This proposal requests partial support for the 2010 and 2011 CTEQ Summer Schools.The impact of the CTEQ Summer School on the high energy physics community worldwide is by now well recognized by the major laboratories. On the order of one thousand physicists have attended CTEQ schools. Some of the early students have gone on to be lecturers at more recent schools. The broader impact of these Schools is felt through the students' strengthened awareness of the context of their research in the overall undertaking of fundamental physics. The interactive nature of the schools also encourages the skills necessary for communicating the excitement and results of fundamental physics within collaborations and to the wider public.
