The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is the world?s energy frontier accelerator and together with the associated largest detectors ever constructed, will allow for the probing of the seminal questions in high energy physics. This proposal will provide a unique opportunity for early career graduate students involved in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC to be involved at CERN for the start of data taking. About ten high qualified students per year (a new set of approximately ten for each of three years) will be selected to receive travel awards affording them the opportunity to be present at CERN during the early running of the LHC, which is expected to start operations in the Fall of 2008. It is necessary for a complete education for graduate students that they be able to have hands-on experience in the operation of the experiment, and these prestigious travel awards will assure that the very best students from NSF core program funded institutions are able to have this once in a lifetime experience.With regard to broader impact, the recipients of these awards will also further the goals of recognizing and attracting underrepresented groups to the sciences, fostering international exchange, and bringing the excitement of cutting edge scientific research to a younger generation as they bring back their experiences to their campuses, interact with undergraduates in REU programs and with high school students and teachers in QuarkNet and other programs.

CERN的大型强子对撞机（LHC）是世界的能量边界加速器，以及有史以来构建的最大探测器，将允许在高能量物理学中探测开创性问题。该建议将为参与LHC ATLAS实验的早期职业生涯研究生提供独特的机会，以便在CERN参与数据的开始。每年约有十个高素质的学生（每三年的大约十年）将被选中获得旅行奖，使他们有机会在LHC的早期运行期间出席CERN，预计该奖项将在2008年秋天开始运作。有必要在2008年秋天开始进行全面的教育，以便他们能够在这些学生方面拥有良好的旅行，并且能够提供良好的经验。资金的机构能够在一生的经验中获得一次。考虑到更广泛的影响，这些奖项的受众将进一步促进认识并吸引不足的群体进入科学，促进国际交流，促进国际交流，并将兴奋的兴奋带给先进的科学研究，以使他们的年轻一代与他们的校园相互作用，并与他们的校园相互竞争，并与他们的校园相互作用，并在竞争中互动，并在竞争中互动，并在竞争中互动，并在竞争中互动，并将其与学生互动，并在竞争中互动，并将其与学生互动，并将其兴奋不已。程序。
