This project will improve theoretical predictions within the SM and its supersymmetric extensions. These improvements are necessary in order to fully exploit the potential of the LHC to unravel the origin of symmetry breaking and mass generation, and to search for and disentangle signals of new physics, such as SUSY. The project involves the calculation of higher order effects in quantum field theory (radiative corrections), and the incorporation of these into Monte-Carlo simulations of LHC processes, involving the Higgs and electroweak gauge sector, the top quark, and SUSY particles. The education and outreach component of this project consists of three parts: Firstly, a permanent, interactive physics exhibition will be established, which will integrate Art with Science, to engage the general public in a dialog about physics in an inspiring and non-intimidating setting. High-school students and their teachers, both scientific and artistic oriented, will be actively involved in the construction of new exhibition displays. Secondly, 'Peer Instruction' will be implemented in introductory college physics courses, and its effectiveness will be measured. Finally, undergraduate students will be provided with an opportunity to experience and contribute to particle physics research, allowing them to acquire skills applicable to areas within and beyond the scope of particle physics.

该项目将改善SM及其超对称扩展内的理论预测。这些改进是必要的，以便充分利用大型强子对撞机的潜力，解开对称性破缺和质量产生的起源，并寻找和解开新物理学的信号，如超对称性。该项目涉及计算量子场论中的高阶效应（辐射修正），并将其纳入大型强子对撞机过程的蒙特-卡罗模拟，涉及希格斯和电弱规范扇区、顶夸克和超对称粒子。该项目的教育和外展部分包括三个部分：首先，将建立一个永久的互动物理展览，将艺术与科学相结合，让公众在一个鼓舞人心和非恐吓的环境中进行物理对话。高中学生和他们的老师，无论是科学和艺术导向，将积极参与新的展览展示的建设。第二，在大学物理导论课中实施“同伴教学”，并对其效果进行评价。最后，本科生将有机会体验和促进粒子物理研究，使他们能够获得适用于粒子物理范围内和范围外的领域的技能。
