US-Indo Cooperative Research: Phenomenological Studies with Standard Model & Beyond

9514793帕克瓦萨描述：这项研究将调查有关高能物理不同方面的现象学问题，特别强调高能对撞机。考虑到费米实验室、SLAC、CERN、DESY等新对撞机在过去十年中取得的成功，以及其他对撞机将于今年开始运行，对撞机物理学将继续作为高能物理的一个重要分支而发展。粒子物理的标准模型通常被认为是不完整的。研究人员将探索超越标准模型的物理学对当前和未来高能对撞机实验的现象学影响。例子包括寻找超对称性，寻找希格斯玻色子--唯一尚未被发现的标准模型粒子，以及中微子的物理学，中微子的质量可以为高能物理提供线索。檀香山马诺阿夏威夷大学的桑迪普·帕克瓦萨教授和薛西斯·塔塔教授将与物理学家、孟买大学的罗希尼·戈博勒博士和塔塔基础研究所(TIFR)合作。在过去的几年里，所有的合作研究人员都积极地从事现象学研究。这项合作将使戈博尔能够与夏威夷大学的大型实验小组进行互动，该小组参与了美国费米实验室、中国和日本的实验。范围：高能物理是印度政府确定的一个研究领域，是印度物理学家中非常活跃和强大的领域之一。研究小组在调查领域拥有特殊的专门知识，他们过去的工作卓有成效。为该项目请求的适度支持将使研究人员能够恢复合作，并加强印度日益壮大的对撞机物理学家社区与美国同行之间的合作研究。***

9514793 Pakvasa Description: This research will investigate phenomenological issues concerning different aspects of High Energy Physics with special emphasis on high energy colliders. Considering the success over the last decade of new colliders at Fermilab, SLAC, CERN, DESY, and that others are due to begin operation this year, collider physics will continue to grow as an important branch of High Energy Physics. The Standard Model of particle physics is generally believed to be incomplete. The investigators will explore phenomenological implications of Physics Beyond the Standard Model for current and future experiments at high energy colliders. Examples include the search for supersymmetry, for Higgs bosons the only Standard Model particle yet to be discovered, as well as the physics of neutrinos whose masses could provide clues to physics at high energy. Professors Sandip Pakvasa and Xerxes Tata of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu will collaborate with physicist, Dr. Rohini Godbole of the University of Bombay and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). All coinvestigators have been actively engaged in phenomenological research for the last several years. This collaboration will allow Godbole to interact with the large experimental group at the University of Hawaii that is involved with experiments at Fermilab in the US, in China and in Japan. Scope: High energy physics is an area of research that has been identified as a thrust area by the Indian Government and is one of tremendous activity and strength among Indian physicists. The research team has particular expertise in the areas of investigation and they have worked effectively in the past. The modest support requested for this project will allow the investigators to renew their collaboration and also strengthen cooperative research betweens the growing community of collider physicists in India and their counterparts in the US. ***
