Carleton technical team for particle physics research

这项拨款申请是为了资助一个技术团队，该团队为卡尔顿大学的粒子物理研究提供计算机和技术支持。该团队由一名设计师、一名电子专家、一名技术人员以及一名软件和网格计算专家组成。该团队在设计、建造和安装粒子物理实验探测器以及为模拟和数据分析提供计算机支持方面拥有多年经验。这些活动的重点包括为欧洲核子研究中心、日内瓦的欧洲粒子物理实验室的实验建造的仪器，以及为位于安大略萨德伯里的INCO Creighton矿的萨德伯里中微子观测站建造的部件。对于欧洲核子研究中心，该小组建造了探测器来定位和测量粒子轨迹，具有高精度和非常密集的探测器来吸收和测量高能粒子的总能量。 对于SNO，该小组设计并建造了用于研究来自太阳的中微子的轻水和重水的水净化系统。这些供水系统将两种水中的污染物降低到了前所未有的水平。

This grant application is to fund a technical team which provides computer and technical support at Carleton University for research in particle physics. This team consists of a designer, an electronics specialist, a technician and a software and grid computing expert. This team of people has many years of experience in designing, building and installing detectors for particle physics experiments and in providing computer support for simulation and data analysis. Highlights of these activities include apparatus built for experiments at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory in Geneva and components for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) located in the INCO Creighton Mine in Sudbury, Ontario. For CERN, the group built detectors to locate and measure particle tracks with high precision and very dense detectors to absorb and measure the total energy of high energy particles. For SNO, the group designed and built water purification systems for both the light and heavy water used to study neutrinos coming from the sun. These water systems reduced the contamination in both kinds of water to levels never before achieved.
