This proposal is to support a group from the University of Rochester consisting of the PI, two postdoctoral associates, and three students, in their work on the "CLEO-c" experiment. This experiment has significant potential for producing high quality data on charm particle decays that far exceed all previous data. Some of these results, for example those relating to "lattice QCD" comparisons, will be of theoretical importance in calculating strong interaction strengths; the measurements of absolute branching fractions will be important for understanding decays of heavier quarks and aid in the interpretation of measurements at the"B factories" BaBar (US) and Belle (Japan); and the experiment will improved knowledge of the "CKM matrix elements" which will make possible precise tests of the unitarity of the CKM matrix describing weak interactions. .

该建议是在罗切斯特大学的一群人，由PI，两名博士后员工和三名学生组成的一群人中，他们在“ Cleo-C”实验方面的工作。该实验具有产生高质量数据对魅力粒子衰变的巨大潜力，远远超过了所有以前的数据。其中一些结果，例如与“晶格QCD”比较有关的结果，在计算强相互作用强度方面将具有理论上的重要性。绝对分支部分的测量对于理解较重的夸克的衰变和有助于解释“ B工厂” Babar（美国）和Belle（日本）的测量值很重要； 并且该实验将改善对“ CKM矩阵元素”的了解，这将使描述弱相互作用的CKM矩阵的单位性进行精确测试。 。
