This proposal requests continuing support for a program of research for the Huston.Bromberg group at Michigan State University (MSU) in experimental elementary particle physics based primarily on the CDF experiment and proposed NOvA experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider and the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.For the past few decades, physicists have been able to describe with increasing detail the fundamental particles that make up the Universe and the interactions between them. Much of this success has been due to the Tevatron program at Fermilab with D0 and CDF making major contributions. This understanding is encapsulated in the Standard Model of particle physics, but it contains gaps and cannot tell us the whole story. To fill in the missing knowledge requires more and different experimental data, and the next big step to achieving this is with the LHC. This MSU group has made major contributions to the CDF experiment in its design, construction and operation of parts of the calorimeter and tracker and in the physics questions proposed as well as in many leadership roles. This group is now transitioning into the ATLAS program where it will parlay its wealth of experience in W/Z + jet final state(s) into a leadership role in such analyses. Such events serve as both a signal channel and background in Standard Model and Beyond the Standard Model physics. The group also has major responsibility in the design, installation and operation for parts of the calorimeter system including thee L1 trigger. This group works closely with phenomenologists with Huston serving as co-spokesman for the 24 member Coordinated Theoretical-Experimental Project on QCD (CTEQ) and one of the organizers of its workshops.Bromberg also is participating in the NOvA R&D program with his group having responsibility for quality assurance of the 13,000 km of WLS fiber. Finally, he has also joined the group testing a 250-liter LArTPC at Fermilab. On Broader Impacts, the group will continue its work primarily within the QuarkNet program as well as employing undergraduates in the research. Expansion of the Cosmic Ray Detector units into other schools is underway with the goal of coordinating time stamps between high schools to look for wide area cosmic ray showers. Science Days and permanent exhibits in an atrium setting at MSU related to the ATLAS program are planned.

该提案要求继续支持密歇根州立大学的Huston.Bromberg小组（MSU）在实验基本粒子物理学中，主要基于CDF实验，并在Fermilab Tevatron Collider和Atlas实验的Fermilab Tevatron Collider和Atlas实验的大型Hadron Collider（LHC）的decernist probilations pristions versist probilram probinest the decerns probinest。这构成了宇宙及其之间的相互作用。大部分成功归功于Fermilab的Tevatron计划，D0和CDF做出了重大贡献。 这种理解封装在粒子物理的标准模型中，但它包含差距，无法告诉我们整个故事。 要填写缺失的知识需要更多和不同的实验数据，而实现这一目标的下一个重要步骤是使用LHC。 这个MSU小组在其设计，建设和操作的一部分量热计和跟踪器以及提出的物理问题以及许多领导角色中为CDF实验做出了重大贡献。 该小组现在正在过渡到Atlas计划，在该计划中将其在W/Z + JET最终状态中的丰富经验中的丰富经验中，在此类分析中发挥了领导作用。 这些事件是标准模型和标准模型物理超出标准模型的信号通道和背景。 该小组在包括Thee L1触发器在内的量热计系统的设计，安装和操作中还负有重要责任。 该小组与Huston的现象学家紧密合作，担任24名成员的共同招聘者，协调了QCD（CTEQ）的理论实验项目，其讲习班的组织者之一。Bromberg也正在参与Nova R＆D计划，他的小组与Wls Fiber的13,000 km的质量负责。 最后，他还加入了小组测试，在费米拉布（Fermilab）进行了250升LARTPC。在更广泛的影响下，该小组将主要在Quarknet计划中继续其工作，并在研究中聘请本科生。 将宇宙射线探测器单元扩展到其他学校正在进行，目的是协调高中之间的时间戳记，以寻找广泛的宇宙射线淋浴。 计划在MSU的Atrium环境中与Atlas计划有关的科学日和永久展览。
