This award supports the Particle Physics Group of Jawahery and Roberts at the University of Maryland to study the physics of heavy flavor and CP-violation at the LHCb Experiment at the LHC Collider at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. The Maryland group is a new institutional member of the collaboration and will be making both technical and analytical contributions to the experiment in its current configuration, and forthcoming upgrades. The technical focus for the current experiment will emphasize tracking software and flavor tagging, operations and data analysis and, for the upgraded experiment, tracking and particle identification. The analytical focus will emphasize the group's expertise in CP violation studies of charm decays and loop-dominated B meson decays. Broader impacts of the program include engaging high school students and undergraduate students from underrepresented groups in science in hands research in the group's Photo Detector Laboratory on the campus in College Park, Maryland.

该奖项支持马里兰大学贾瓦赫里和罗伯茨的粒子物理小组在瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究组织大型强子对撞机的大型强子对撞机实验中研究浓味和CP破坏的物理学。 马里兰小组是该合作的新机构成员，将为当前配置和即将升级的实验做出技术和分析贡献。 当前实验的技术重点将强调跟踪软件和风味标签、操作和数据分析，以及升级实验的跟踪和颗粒识别。 分析重点将强调该小组在魅力衰变和环主导的 B 介子衰变的 CP 破坏研究方面的专业知识。 该计划的更广泛影响包括让来自科学界代表性不足群体的高中生和本科生参与该小组位于马里兰州大学帕克分校的光电探测器实验室的手工研究。
