Theoretical Studies in QCD, Electroweak and non Standard Model Physics

这项建议要求继续支持国际和平研究所及其合作伙伴在粒子物理和天体物理重要领域的广泛研究计划。所提出的粒子物理学在很大程度上与大型强子对撞机有关，包括可能替代希格斯机制的弱电对称破缺(EWSB)和详细计算希格斯的实验特征；但它也包括重夸克系统的光谱工作。天体物理学包括使用超新星和CMB数据研究暗能量，以及在强磁场和其他高能天体物理情况下的中微子相互作用。雷普科，圆周率是天体物理研究的专家，施密特是希格斯物理的专家。更广泛的影响包括与实验的密切联系，以及对学生进行广泛学科的培训。它们还包括PI积极参与重建本科生学校玛丽埃塔学院的物理课程。

This proposal requests continued support for a broad program of research by the PI and his Co-PI in important areas of particle physics and astrophysics. The particle physics proposed relates largely to the LHC and includes both possible alternatives to the Higgs mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) and detailed calculations of experimental signatures for the Higgs; but it also includes work on the spectroscopy of heavy quarkonium systems. the astrophysics includes studies of dark energy using supernova and CMB data, and neutrino interactions in intense magnetic fields and other high energy astrophysical situations. Repko, the PI is an expert in the astrophysical studies and Schmidt on the Higgs physics. The broader impacts include the close connection to experiments, and the training of students across a broad variety of subjects. They also include active participation by the PI in rebuilding the physics program at an undergraduate school, Marietta College.
