The POWRE grant will serve as an opportunity to extend and develop her research at a critical time in her career. This proposal adddresses the fundamental theoretical question of the origins of mass. The PI's research involves the causes of electroweak symmetry breaking and the mechanisms responsible for the diverse masses of the quarks and leptons, the elementary constituents of matter. While the standard model of particle physics can accommodate massive particles, it does not explain the dynamics through which mass arises. This proposal seeks to advance the understanding of the origins of mass by exploring physics that lies outside the Standard Model. The PI will employ techniques ranging from field theory to model building to computer simulation. The award is funded by the NSF POWRE program, the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the MPS Directorate, and the Physics Division.

该POWRE赠款将作为一个机会，以扩大和发展她的研究在她的职业生涯的关键时刻。 这个建议解决了质量起源的基本理论问题。PI的研究涉及电弱对称性破缺的原因，以及物质的基本组成夸克和轻子的不同质量的机制。 虽然粒子物理学的标准模型可以容纳大质量粒子，但它不能解释质量产生的动力学。 这个提议试图通过探索标准模型之外的物理学来推进对质量起源的理解。 PI将采用从场论到模型构建到计算机模拟的技术。 该奖项由NSF POWRE计划，MPS董事会多学科活动办公室和物理部门资助。
