Research in Elementary Particle Theory

提出的研究涵盖了超弦理论和现象学的广泛主题。主要的焦点将是描述I型开放超弦的SO（32）规范玻色子激发的Born-Infeld理论的非阿贝尔推广。对偶性将用于分析这些理论的有效作用。对偶技术也将应用于理解超弦现象学的问题，如超对称破缺和质量产生，目的是为现在和未来的对撞机实验获得可测试的预测。在这些预测中，将包括对高介子凝聚机制的预测，以理解tan b和理解超对称破缺级联及其实验结果。

The proposed research covers a wide range of topics in superstring theory and phenomenology. The main focus will be in non-Abelian generalizations of the Born-Infeld theory describing the SO (32) gauge boson excitations of Type I open Superstrings. Dualities will be used to analyze the effective action of these theories. Duality techniques will also be applied to understanding questions of superstring phenomenology such as supersymmetry breaking and mass generation with the purpose of obtaining testable prediction for present and future collider experiments. Among these predictions will be predictions of gaugino condensation mechanisms for understanding tan b and to understand cascades of supersymmetry breaking and their experimental consequences.
