This grant covered an umbrella program of research in high-­‐energy particle physics at Southern Methodist University during the period 2004-­‐2013. The experimental program evolved during that time. At its early stages it included research on the CLEO experiment at CESR (Coan, Stroynowski, Ye), D0 experiment at Tevatron (Kehoe), preparation for the BTEV experiment at Fermilab (Coan) and construction and commissioning of the Liquid Argon Calorimeter for the ATLAS experiment at LHC (Stroynowski, Ye). In the last three years the program concentrated on the ATLAS experiment at LHC (Kehoe, Sekula, Stroynowski, Ye), D0 experiment at Tevatron (Kehoe) and NOvA experiment at Fermilab (Coan). Professor Sekula had a short-­‐term independent grant for which he is submitting a separate report. The theoretical physics program included work on non-­‐perturbative methods in the light cone representation (McCartor (deceased)), lattice calculations (Hornbostel), and determination of parton distribution functions (Olness). A summary of the accomplishments emphasizing results from the past three years is provided separately for each of the tasks.
