Many post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students from UTA are also involved in the project. There will be opportunities for many more students to participate during the next 20 years. The vote took place during a meeting at CERN on Thanksgiving day, 1996. The project is fully funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Jia Li and Kausik De compress a submodule to the right dimension with a 500-lb plate.
Calorimeters form the heart of modern high energy physics experiments.
They measure the energy of most particles created in the high energy beam collisions at accelerators. It plays a crucial role in improving the precision of the total energy measurement. Results from testing the first two prototypes this summer will be used to improve the design before building all 128. These are very exciting times for high energy physics.
