This award supports research in elementary particle                        physics by Dr. Persis S. Drell, a Presidential Young                            Investigator.  Dr. Drell will continue her association with the                 Mark II detector at the Stanford Linear Collider and will also                  work on the CLEO detector at the Cornell CESR accelerator.                           Both of these programs use electron.positron collisions to                 study fundamental forces in nature.  The Stanford experiment is                 likely to be one of the first to make precise measurements of                   the mass and lifetime of the "Z" particle, one of the quanta of                 the electro.weak force field.  In her work at Cornell, Dr.                      Drell will become involved in the study of symmetry breaking in                 these forces.  This phenomenon has wide significance; for                       example, this kind of symmetry breaking is thought responsible                  for the small amount of anti-matter in the universe.
