9802551MohapatraThe aim of the proposed research is to explore the role of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics with an emphasis on supersymmetric models, and to explore theoretical and dynamical aspects of supersymmetry. The standard model is the most successful physical theory constructed to date. However, a glaring problem with the standard model is the need for extreme fine tuning of fundamental parameters to explain why observed particles are light compared to much larger mass scales that are believed to play a fundamental role in nature. Supersymmetry provides an elegant framework for solving this problem, and the research in this proposal will study the puzzles of the standard model in this framework. These include the origin of masses, the possibility of neutrino mass, and symmetries whose origin or pattern of violation are not understood. Another area of the proposed research concerns theoretical investigations of supersymmetric models with a view to possible applications in particle physics. Topics include the investigation of strongly coupled models (including dynamical supersymmetry breaking), anomalies in supersymmetric theories, the low-energy effective theory of string theory.

9802551拟议研究的目标是探索物理学的作用，而不是粒子物理学的标准模型，重点是超对称模型，并探索超对称性的理论和动力学方面。 标准模型是迄今为止构建的最成功的物理理论。 但是，标准模型的一个明显问题是需要对基本参数进行极端的微调来解释为什么观察到的粒子与据信在自然界中起基本作用的较大质量尺度相比，观察到的粒子很轻。 SuperSymmetry为解决此问题提供了一个优雅的框架，该提案中的研究将研究该框架中标准模型的难题。 这些包括群众的起源，中微子质量的可能性以及对对称性的起源或违规方式。 拟议的研究的另一个领域涉及超对称模型的理论研究，以期与粒子物理中的可能应用有关。 主题包括对强耦合模型的研究（包括动力学超对称破坏），超对称理论的异常，是弦乐理论的低能量有效理论。
