Elementary Particles, Nuclei, and Relativity

理论物理的研究将涵盖广泛的研究项目，包括基本粒子物理、核物理、广义相对论和宇宙学。现象学研究将从现有实验和预计在不久的将来收集的数据中提取最充分的可能含义。这样的工作对于检验目前被接受的观点的有效性是必不可少的，比如基本粒子的标准模型，并淘汰那些试图取代它们的替代方案。重点将放在低能基本粒子现象上，这在理论上有些难以解释。理论研究将涉及新理论的制定，也将加深我们对现有理论的认识，如广义相对论，其内容尚未得到充分的探索。最后，《教育研究》将以清晰易懂的方式向实践者和学生解释我们的科学。这些贡献将以书籍和教学文章的形式出现。

Research in theoretical physics will encompass a broad program of studies, including elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, general relativity and cosmology. Phenomenological Studies will extract the fullest possible implications of data collected from existing experiments and those anticipated in the near future. Such work is essential in testing the validity of currently accepted ideas, such as the Standard Model of elementary particles, and weeding out alternative schemes which attempt to supplant them. A focus will be on the low-energy elementary particle phenomena, which are somewhat difficult to interpret theoretically. Theoretical Studies will involve the formulation of new theories, and will also deepen our knowledge of existing theories such as General Relativity, whose content has not yet been explored fully. Finally, Educational Studies will serve to explain our science in clearly understandable terms to its practitioners and to students. Such contributions will take the form of both books and pedagogic articles.
