Elementary Particles, Nuclei and Relativity

这项提议要求继续支持一个在核理论和粒子理论方面有着长期和富有成效的研究记录的小组。近年来，随着广义相对论和宇宙学领域与粒子物理之间的协同作用日益增强，研究兴趣的范围已经朝着广义相对论和宇宙学的方向发展。其中三个原理对中性Kaon和D介子系统中的宇称破坏核力、手征微扰理论和粒子反粒子混合等问题作出了重要贡献，并产生了重大影响。此外，两位宇宙学家研究弦理论的引力方面。该组织有一个广泛的外展计划，包括各种不同的项目。这些措施包括为州立高中科学教师提供STEM-ED计划，为儿童编写关于重力的教育书籍，组织戈登会议，以及参加学生的暑期学校。

This proposal requests continued support for a group which has a long and productive record of research in nuclear and particle theory. Over recent years, the range of research interests have evolved in the directions of general relativity and cosmology, following the growing synergy between the these fields and particle physics. Three of the principals have made important contributions which are highly cited and have had impact on problems such as parity violating nuclear forces, chiral perturbation theory, and particle anti-particle mixing in the neutral Kaon and D-meson systems. In addition, two cosmologists work on the gravitational aspects of string theory. The group has an extensive outreach program with a variety of different projects. These include STEM-ED programs for state high school science teachers, writing educational books on gravity for children, the organisation of a Gordon Conference, and participation in summer schools for students.
