Research Areas Experimental Elementary Particle Physics Research Statement The polarized proton beams at RHIC at BNL have been accelerated and stored with measurable polarization and an exciting physics result has been obtained. A large community of experimentalists and theorists are eagerly awaiting further results from collisions of polarized proton beams. In a separate effort the design for a detector (RPC) with record breaking time resolution has been completed and a prototype installed in the STAR detector at RHIC. A proposal involving eight Chinese Universities, University of Texas, Austin, and UCLA, with Rice in the leading role has been approved to upgrade the STAR experiment with these detectors. We also have aided several Korean groups working with Korea University in Seoul to obtain funding from their governmental agencies to build a different type of RPC for the muon system of the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. We have also tested prototype electronics for triggering the CMS muon system. Measuring the radiation hardness of these electronics, part of the testing procedure, may also be relevant to national security issues. Dothan High School
