Support for U.S. High Energy Physicists to Attend 46th Rencontres de Moriond Conference, La Thiule, Italy, March 13-27, 2011

这笔赠款为年轻物理学家提供部分支持，让他们参加在意大利拉图雷连续举行的第46届Renconres de Moriond会议：(1)电弱相互作用和统一理论(2011年3月13-20日)和(2)QCD和高能强子相互作用(2011年3月20-27日)。2011年的Moriond会议是过渡性的，因为除了美国CDF、D0、PHENIX和STAR将报告的实验结果外，将越来越重视大型强子对撞机物理的准备和探测器的调试，美国科学家在其中发挥了重要作用。随着大型强子对撞机实验处于完全调试模式，第一批大型强子对撞机束流数据和在地下实验大厅用完全运行的探测器收集的大量宇宙学数据，人们预计在2011年莫里秒会议上大型强子对撞机会谈的数量将会增加。因此，2010 Moriond仍然是一个独特而绝佳的机会，既可以宣传令人印象深刻的美国粒子物理学科学计划，同时通过允许我们最有才华的年轻科学家在这两个主要的欧洲论坛上发表他们的最新成果，让他们获得更多的知名度。将作出特别努力，鼓励妇女和少数群体参与。

This grant provides partial support for young physicists to attend either of the two sequential 46th Rencontres de Moriond conferences to be held in La Thuile, Italy: (1) Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories (March 13-20, 2011) and (2) QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions (March 20-27, 2011). Moriond meetings in 2011 are transitional since, besides the experimental results to be reported from U.S.-based CDF, D0, PHENIX and STAR, increasing importance will be placed on the preparation for the LHC physics and commissioning of the detectors, in which the U.S. scientists play a major role. With LHC experiments being in the full commissioning mode with the first LHC beam data and vast amount of cosmics collected with the fully operational detectors in their underground experimental halls, one expects an increased number of LHC talks at the 2011 Moriond conference. Consequently, the 2010 Moriond remains a unique and excellent opportunity to both advertise the impressive U.S. science program in particle physics and at the same time to give our most talented young scientists extra visibility by allowing them to deliver their latest results at these two major European forums. Special efforts will be made to encourage women and minorities to participate.
