Research in Elementary Particle Physics

基本粒子物理学的研究将包括3+1维时空中量子场论的几个方面的研究，特别是物质的玻色子和费米子成分之间具有超对称性的理论。超共形代数及其中心电荷的性质，可能的c-定理，手征反常，以及超对称理论的非微扰结构将被研究。要采取的观点强调时空相关函数的作用。量子场论是解释基本粒子物理实验的主要理论框架，超对称性被广泛认为是将我们的理解扩展到今天标准模型之外所必需的。要研究的问题既涉及该学科的基本方面，也涉及该学科的现象学方面。

Research in elementary particle physics will include studies of several aspects of quantum field theory in 3 + 1 dimensional space-time, especially theories with a supersymmetry between boson and fermion constituents of matter. Properties of the superconformal algebra and its central charges, possible c-theorems, chiral anomalies, and the non-perturbative structure of supersymmetric theories will be studied. The viewpoint to be taken emphasizes the role of space-time correlation functions. Quantum field theory is the major theoretical framework for the interpretation of experiments in elementary particle physics, and supersymmetry is widely considered necessary to extend our understanding beyond the level of today's standard model. The problems to be studied relate both to fundamental and phenomenological aspects of the subject.
