The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) during 2008 - 2012 will be held for a four-week period in June at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The aim of TASI is to introduce advanced graduate students to a much broader range of ideas and topics than they normally experience in their home institutions while working on their dissertation topics. TASI has been highly successful in achieving this by providing a series of lectures and seminars on topics of current research in theoretical particle physics and related experimental subjects. Each summer TASI focuses on or two broad topics in theoretical particle physics, the topics chosen (by the Scientific Advisory Committee including the general director) being timely and relevant both from experimental and theoretical point of view. One or two Physicists who are experts on these topics are invited to direct the program in concert with the director who is the PI. TASI-2008 will be held during June 2 - 27, 2008, and the topic is "Phenomenology of LHC Physics" and the outside program directors are Professor Tao Han of University of Wisconsin who is well known for his research in collider physics and Professor Robin Erbacher of UC Davis who is involved in CMS. It will cover various models beyond the Standard Model -- Supersymmetry, little Higgs model(s), physics of extra dimensions and string phenomenology -- and their experimental implications at LHC; there will be several mini courses of four/five lectures in each sub-field. Also, there will be several seminars. At TASI there is close interaction between the lecturers and the students, and student among themselves. This is further enhanced by more than half of lecturers staying in student housing and having meals with students; also, student organized seminars on their works leads to collaborative interaction among students. The broader impacts of this proposal is that TASI is serving the very useful purpose of training next generations of theoretical high energy physicists to keep U.S.A. in the forefront of this research field in the world. As these trained personnel have a very versatile background in physics and mathematics, they have contributed and will continue to contribute in the task of keeping the country abreast in physical sciences and related fields. TASI has started having videos of lectures available to the worldwide audience, and this will certainly be useful to the high energy physics community at large.

2008 - 2012年基本粒子物理理论高级研究所（TASI）将于6月在科罗拉多大学博尔德分校举行为期四周的会议。TASI的目的是向高级研究生介绍更广泛的思想和主题，而不是他们在本国机构从事论文主题时通常所经历的。TASI通过提供一系列关于理论粒子物理和相关实验主题的当前研究主题的讲座和研讨会，在实现这一目标方面取得了很大成功。每年夏天，TASI都集中在理论粒子物理的一两个广泛的主题上，从实验和理论的角度来看，选择的主题（由包括总干事在内的科学咨询委员会）是及时和相关的。一个或两个物理学家谁是这些主题的专家被邀请与导演谁是PI协调指导程序。TASI-2008将于2008年6月2日至27日举行，主题为“大型强子对撞机物理现象学”，外部项目主任为以对撞机物理研究闻名的威斯康星大学的韩韬教授和参与CMS的加州大学戴维斯分校的Robin Erbacher教授。它将涵盖标准模型之外的各种模型——超对称、小希格斯模型、额外维度物理学和弦现象学——以及它们在大型强子对撞机上的实验意义；每个子领域将有几门四/五节课的迷你课程。此外，还会有几场研讨会。在TASI，老师和学生之间以及学生之间都有密切的互动。超过一半的讲师住在学生宿舍并与学生一起用餐，这进一步加强了这一点；此外，学生组织研讨会，讨论他们的作品，促进学生之间的协作互动。这项提议的更广泛的影响是，TASI正在为培养下一代理论高能物理学家提供非常有用的目的，以保持美国在这一研究领域的世界前沿。由于这些受过训练的人员在物理和数学方面具有非常广泛的背景，他们已经并将继续为保持国家在物理科学和相关领域的领先地位作出贡献。TASI已经开始向全世界的观众提供讲座视频，这对整个高能物理社区肯定是有用的。
