CTEQ Summer School Funding

该奖项为将参加2012年和2013年年度CTEQ暑期学校的学生和博士后研究人员提供支持。 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，他们从事一项计划，以推进量子色动力学（QCD）的研究和理解-强相互作用的理论基础。 量子色动力学及其在高能下的研究越来越多地被基本粒子物理和核物理所共享。 由CTEQ协作组织的年度暑期学校是大型会议，其目标是通过讲座和其他正式演讲使参与者加快强相互作用物理学的最新发展。这些年度活动通常涵盖在当前实验中的基础物理学和实际应用之间取得平衡的主题。 组织者还确保与会的初级物理学家也有机会与高级物理学家就他们的研究进行密切互动。 这些会议具有重大而广泛的影响。 初级物理学家出席这些会议，提高了他们的教育和促进他们的研究。 它允许与演讲者进行面对面的互动，从而促进物理学家在职业生涯的不同阶段之间的互动。 它还使所有人能够在非正式环境中建立网络，并使他们能够分享想法和建立个人联系。 这些会议还促进了理论家和实验之间的互动，并有助于为未来的QCD相关研究开发急需的知识基础设施。

This award provides support for students and postdoctoral researchers who will attend the 2012 and 2013 annual CTEQ Summer Schools. The CTEQ Collaboration is an informal group of 32 experimental and theoretical high-energy physicists from eighteen universities and five national labs who are engaged in a program to advance research in and understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) --- the theory underlying the strong interaction. QCD and its study at high energies is increasingly shared by both elementary particle and nuclear physics. The annual Summer Schools organized by the CTEQ Collaboration are large meetings whose goal is to bring participants up to speed on recent developments regarding strong-interaction physics through lectures and other formal presentations. These annual events typically cover topics that strike a balance between the underlying physics and practical applications in current experiments. Organizers also ensure that junior physicists in attendance also have the opportunity to interact closely with the senior physicists about their research. These meetings have significant broader impacts. Attendance by junior physicists at these meetings enhances their education and promotes their research. It permits face-to-face interactions with those giving presentations, thereby fostering interactions between physicists at different stages in their careers. It also allows all to network in an informal setting, and enables them to share ideas and establish personal contacts. These meetings also promote interactions between theorists and experiments, and help to develop a badly-needed intellectual infrastructure for future QCD-related research.
