Research in theoretical particle physics will include work on superstring theory and quantum gravity, supersymmetric gauge theories, and analytical and numerical studies in quantum chromodynamics. Superstring theory is the leading candidate for a unified theory that has revealed deep connections between gravity and other fundamental forces in nature. Quantum chromodynamics is the theory of the strong nuclear forces that describes the confinement of quarks within nucleons. Thus the investigations that will be undertaken are of importance in furthering our understanding of the physics of the elementary particles.

理论粒子物理学的研究将包括超弦理论和量子引力、超对称规范理论以及量子色动力学的分析和数值研究。 超弦理论是统一理论的主要候选者，它揭示了引力与自然界其他基本力之间的深刻联系。 量子色动力学是描述核子内夸克禁闭的强核力理论。 因此，将要进行的研究对于进一步理解基本粒子的物理学是很重要的。
