RUI: Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring Beam Physics Research at the California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo

这个为期三年的奖项将为位于圣路易斯奥比斯波的加州理工州立大学（calpoly）与康奈尔大学基本粒子物理实验室（LEPP）合作的束流物理学的本科生研究、教学和推广提供支持。目前，康奈尔电子-正电子存储环（CESR）有两种工作模式：1)作为国际直线对撞机（ILC）阻尼环（CesrTA）的测试加速器，2)作为康奈尔高能同步加速器源（CHESS）的同步辐射源。该奖项的智力价值是继续正在进行的研究和开发CESR光束诊断，能够量化束束和逐圈光束动力学，以研究重要的ILC阻尼环机参数和高亮度运行CHESS。研究者在康奈尔大学有很强的光束物理研究记录，并将继续现有的光束光学和动力学研究的合作努力。提案中概述的研究计划为四年制大学的本科生参与加速器物理研究提供了一个绝佳的机会，丰富了课程，并通过加州理工学院的科学与数学教育卓越中心（CESaME）向公众推广。

This three-year award will provide support for undergraduate research, teaching, and outreach in beam physics at the California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) in collaboration with the Laboratory of Elementary Particle Physics (LEPP) at Cornell University. Presently, the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring (CESR) has two modes of operation: 1) as a test accelerator for the International Linear Collider (ILC) damping ring (CesrTA), and 2) as a synchrotron radiation source for the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS). The intellectual merit of this award is to continue the ongoing effort of research and development of CESR beam diagnostics capable of quantifying bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn beam dynamics to study important ILC damping ring machine parameters and high brightness operation of CHESS. The investigator has a strong record of research on beam physics at Cornell, and will continue existing collaborative efforts for the study of beam optics and dynamics. The research plan outlined in the proposal provides an excellent opportunity for the involvement of undergraduates in accelerator physics research at a 4-year college, the enrichment of the curriculum, and outreach to the public through the Cal Poly's Center for Excellence in Science and Mathematical Education (CESaME).
