Quantum Field Theory of Elementary Particles

摘要PI：史蒂文·温伯格研究所：德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校PHY-0455649标题：基本粒子的量子场论该提案描述了理论物理中覆盖广泛领域的研究。这项工作的范围从最基本的物理到与当前宇宙学观测相关的计算。该小组打算对弦理论进行更深入的理解，希望与实验相联系。这将需要在弦理论的背景下对宇宙学和低能物理的理解取得进展。与此同时，他们将继续他们的实用现象学方法来解决超越标准模型的宇宙学和物理学问题。该提案的更广泛影响是，该组织计划通过流行的讲座和其他媒体，包括新闻、广播、电视和互联网，让更多的观众接触到物理学。通过网络技术的发展和物理学和宇宙学研究生教科书的编写，理论小组的工作具有超出高能理论范围的独特影响。

Abstract PI:Steven Weinberg Institution : University of Texas at Austin PHY-0455649 Title: Quantum Field Theory of Elementary Particles The proposal describes research covering a broad area in Theoretical Physics. The work ranges from physics at the most fundamental level to computations relevant to current observations in cosmology. The Group intends to pursue a deeper understanding of String Theory with the hope of connecting with experiment. This will entail progress in the understanding of cosmology and low energy physics in the context of String Theory. At the same time they will proceed with their pragmatic phenomenological approach to questions in cosmology and physics beyond the Standard Model. The broader impact of the propal is that the group plans to make physics accessible to a wider audience through popular lectures and other media including Press, Radio, TV and the Internet. Through the development of Web technologies and the authoring of graduate textbooks in physics and cosmology the work of the Theory Group has a unique impact beyond the confines of high energy theory..
