CAREER: Particle and Astroparticle Physics Beyond the Standard Model

这份职业建议书描述了一项研究计划，旨在利用创新的想法和研究数据来寻找超越标准模型的新的物质形式和相互作用。这项拟议的研究是为了理解超对称性和额外时空维度的预测，并调查它们对粒子物理学、天体物理学和宇宙学的可观测后果。教育部分旨在激发高中生和大学生的科学兴趣。与兰克福德和QuarkNet的首席教师合作，国际和平协会打算发展一个为期两周的强化协理教师学院，以培训高中教师在物理学前沿专题方面的知识。这些教师还将访问SLAC，学习如何分析最近实验的数据。将尝试将这些知识整合到高中课程中。在本科阶段，将在物理讲座课程中实施同伴教学。

This Career Proposal describes a research plan to exploit innovative ideas and research data to search for new forms of matter and interactions beyond those of the standard model. The proposed research is to understand predictions of Supersymmetry and extra space-time dimensions and investigate their observable consequences for particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. The educational component is meant to spark scientific interest in both high school and college students. Working with Lankford and lead teachers of QuarkNet the PI intends to develop an intensive two week Associate Teacher Institute to train high school teachers in frontier topics of physics. These teachers will also visit SLAC and learn how to analyze data from recent experiments. There will be an attempt to integrate this knowledge into the high school curriculum. At the undergraduate level, Peer Instruction will be implemented in the physics lecture course.
