This proposal requests funds that will enable research groups of physicists and students at Hampton University to develop and help to construct a sophisticated tracking device: a Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) for the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland. This proposal will allow underrepresented minorities to participate in the highest priority future experiment of the EPP program and associated educational and outreach activities, in collaboration with physicists from other universities in the US and abroad, and in collaboration with nearby Jefferson laboratory.
