Research in Theoretical High-Energy Physics

理论研究将在基本粒子物理的两个一般领域进行。首先是研究非阿贝尔量子规范场理论的正确表述。在这种理论中，携带某种力的粒子本身就是其他力载体的来源。第二个领域是弦理论，其中基本粒子被视为非常微小的弦的振动。这项研究将由非常杰出的物理学家进行，对我们理解物质成分和基本力的努力至关重要。

Theoretical research will be carried out in two general areas of elementary particle physics. The first is the study of the proper formulation of non-Abelian quantum gauge field theories. In such theories, the particle which carries some force is itself the source of further force carriers. The second area is string theory, in which elementary particles are viewed as the vibrations of very tiny strings. This research, to be carried out by very distinguished physicists, is of basic importance in our efforts to understand the constituents of matter and the basic forces.
