U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science: Phenomenology of Physics Beyond the Standard Model

该奖项支持俄亥俄州立大学Stuart Raby教授和日本仙台东北大学kenichi Hikasa教授为期三年的合作研究项目。研究人员将进行一项关于超越标准模型的物理学现象学的研究。希望将合作者的现象学和理论专业知识结合起来，在粒子物理学前沿的重要研究问题上取得最大进展。他们将对以下模型进行研究：1)线性e+e对撞机的物理；2)希格斯玻色子物理；3)超对称和兰德统一理论；4)中微子质量与振荡；5)天体物理学：中微子和超对称性暗物质；6) B物理。该项目汇集了两个具有互补专业知识和研究能力的实验室的努力。这两个小组在电弱现象学和大统一理论（包括超对称）方面都很强大。研究结果有望促进对该领域前沿基本粒子物理问题的理解。本研究通过博士后和研究生的参与促进了国际人力资源的发展。通过思想和技术的交流，该项目将扩大我们的基础知识基础，促进国际了解与合作。＊＊＊

9815747RabyThis award supports a three year collaborative research project between Professor Stuart Raby of Ohio State University and Professor Ken-ichi Hikasa of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. The researchers will be undertaking a study concerning the phenomenology of physics beyond the standard model. It is desirable to combine the phenomenological and theoretical expertise of the collaborators to make maximal progress on important research problems at the forefront of particle physics. They will be undertaking studies on the following models: 1) physics at linear e+e- colliders; 2) Higgs boson physics; 3) supersymmetry and rand unified theories; 4) neutrino mass and oscillations; 5) astrophysics: neutrinos and SUSY dark matter; and 6) B physics. This project brings together the efforts of two laboratories that have complementary expertise and research capabilities. Both groups are strong in electroweak phenomenology and grand unified theories (including supersymmetry). The research results are expected to be beneficial in advancing the understanding of basic particle physics questions at the forefront of the field. This research advances international human resources through the participation of postdocs and graduate students. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation. ***
