Experimental Studies of the Standard Model and Beyond at High Energy Colliders

该奖项为纽约州立大学石溪分校的实验粒子物理项目提供持续支持。智力上的价值将是对破坏自然力基本对称性的根本原因的新理解，以及对标准模型未描述的物理学的探索。这将在两个实验计划中完成。主要的工作将是在瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机(LHC)上的ATLAS实验，该小组将继续支持量热仪，重点是测量电子、光子、丢失的能量和长寿命粒子，从而能够研究与重夸克相关的W/Z玻色子。积极参与早期物理学将包括测量W玻色子的性质，测量喷注W玻色子的产生，以及新的粒子搜索。参与费米实验室Tevatron的D？实验，该计划将扩大对希格斯玻色子的搜索，如果希格斯玻色子不存在于预期的115-158GeV范围内，则允许排除它，或者如果它存在，则寻找它存在的证据。此外，该小组还将扩展对类符号双介子不对称性的研究，目前的结果表明，在B亚(S)系统中出现了意想不到的CP破坏，并可能解释了宇宙中物质-反物质不对称性。更广泛的影响包括1)改进对高中教师的培训，2)继续支持Mariachi项目，该项目在该地区的高中教室安装探测器以探测高能宇宙射线，3)通过关于物理研究、加速器和技术衍生产品的讲座进行公众宣传，以及4)在对学生和博士后科学家的培训中强调学习新技术和有效沟通，从而使他们能够在科技行业或政府中担任领导职务。

This award provides continued support for the experimental particle physics program at SUNY-Stony Brook. The intellectual merit will be new understanding of underlying causes for the breaking of the symmetry in the fundamental forces of nature and searches for physics not described by the Standard Model. This will be done in two experimental programs. The major effort will be with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, where the group will continue support for the calorimeters with an emphasis on measuring electrons, photons, missing energy and long lived-particles that enable studies of W/Z bosons in association with heavy quarks. Active participation in the early physics will include measurement of W boson properties, measuring production of W bosons with jets, and new particle searches. Participating in the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron the program will extend the search for the Higgs boson, allowing its exclusion if it does not exist within the expected range 115-158 GeV, or finding evidence for its existence if it does. In addition, the group will extend its study of the like-sign dimuon asymmetry, where current results suggest an unexpected CP-violation in the B-sub(s) system and a possible explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The broader impact includes 1) development of improved training for high school teachers, 2) continued support for the Mariachi Project that installs detectors to sense high energy cosmic rays in high school classrooms across the region, 3) public outreach through talks on physics research, accelerators and technological spinoffs, and 4) emphasizing in the training of students and postdoctoral scientists the learning of new techniques and effective communication, thereby enabling them to take leadership positions in science and technology industry or government.
