XXIII International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering; Dallas, TX; April 27 - May 1, 2015

该奖项为将于2015年4月27日至5月1日在德克萨斯州达拉斯南卫理公会大学校园举行的DIS2015第二十三届深度非弹性散射及相关主题国际研讨会（DIS2015）提供支持。这次会议涵盖了高能物理学的广泛主题。该计划的一个重要部分致力于美国和国外主要研究实验室的大型实验的最新结果。理论进展也包括在内。该项目由七个工作组组成：结构函数和部分密度；小x介子、衍射介子和矢量介子；电弱物理及其超越标准模型量子色动力学（QCD）与强子终态重口味;自旋物理;未来的实验。该研讨会已成为实验学家和理论家之间进行全面讨论和辩论的主要场所。虽然最初的DIS研讨会非常强调基于强子电子环加速器（HERA）的物理，但研讨会的主题现在已经扩展到包括最近的大型强子对撞机（LHC）物理以及在伊利诺伊州费米实验室，弗吉尼亚州JLab和纽约RHIC的美国测量。这次会议吸引了来自世界各地的大约300多名科学家来讨论最新的成果。最近的会议在波兰、法国、德国、日本和俄罗斯举行。2014年的会议共举行了265场会谈，与会者来自32个国家。该研讨会一般设在欧洲，每隔几年访问一次美国。因此，在美国举办这次会议对美国学生来说是一个特殊的机会，可以接触到如此广泛的话题，也可以接触到各自领域的领导者。小组正作出安排，让学生以具成本效益的方式参与，以扩大参与范围。

This award provided support for the DIS2015 XXIII International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects (DIS2015) to be held on the Southern Methodist Universiy campus, Dallas, TX during the period April 27-May 1, 2015. The conference covers a large spectrum of topics in high energy physics. A significant part of the program is devoted to the most recent results from large experiments at major research laboratories in the United States and abroad. Theoretical advances are included as well. The program is organized around seven working groups: Structure Functions and Parton Densities; Small-x, Diffraction and Vector Mesons; Electroweak Physics and Beyond the Standard Model; Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and Hadronic Final States; Heavy Flavors; Spin Physics; Future Experiments.The workshop has emerged as the premier venue for comprehensive discussions and debate between experimentalists and theorists. While the original DIS workshops had a strong emphasis on the Hadron Electron Ring Accelerator (HERA) based physics, the topics of the workshop have now branched out to include the recent Large Hadron Collier (LHC) physics as well as the US-based measurements at Fermilab in Illinois, JLab in Virginia and RHIC in New York. This meeting draws approximately 300+ scientists from across the globe to discuss the latest results. Recent meetings were held in Poland, France, Germany, Japan and Russia. The 2014 meeting hosted 265 talks with participants from 32 countries.The workshop has generally been based in Europe and visits the US every few years. Therefore, hosting this meeting in the US represents a special opportunity for US-based students to be exposed to this breadth of topics and also the leaders in their field. The group is making arrangements to allow students to participate in a cost-effective manner so as to expand the scope of participation.
