Grant: Subatomic Physics Envelope - Project

$90,625.00
D0 physics at the energy frontier
FY 2007-08
Summary
The DZero experiment is being carried out at the Tevatron collider at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory located in Batavia, Illinois, USA. The Tevatron is the world's highest energy particle collider producing proton-antiproton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The physics program of DZero is rich and varied. This includes the search for the Higgs boson (which could explain the origin of mass), the search for evidence of supersymmetry, measurements of the properties of the top quark, including the search for single-top production, b physics, including the measurement of the Bs oscillation frequency, precision measurements of W and Z boson properties and studies of the strong force.
