This award provides continued support for the hadron collider-physics program of the experimental high-energy physics group at Johns Hopkins University, Morris Swartz - PI, for a three-year period. The intellectual merit follows from the new era of discovery and understanding which has and will continue to progress in the field of particle physics. The group will conduct a program of experimental particle physics research primarily within the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The scientific goals of the program are to determine the source of spontaneous symmetry breaking and to significantly constrain models of physics beyond the Standard Model. The proposed research builds on technical innovations and expertise that it has developed over a number of years. The technical innovations will also assist other CMS research that makes use of b-tagging or the reconstruction of highly boosted final states. The broader impact builds on these technical innovations in the area of distributed databases and simulations on the Open Science Grid most notably in the fields of astronomy and the life sciences. In addition, there is a strong educational component through QuarkNet and annual Physics Fairs which especially benefit underrepresented groups in the Baltimore area.

该奖项为约翰霍普金斯大学莫里斯·斯沃茨-派实验高能物理小组的强子对撞机物理计划提供了为期三年的持续支持。这种智力上的优点来自于发现和理解的新时代，这个时代已经并将继续在粒子物理领域取得进展。该小组将主要在CERN大型强子对撞机(LHC)的CMS实验中进行一项实验粒子物理研究计划。该计划的科学目标是确定自发对称性破缺的来源，并显著限制超出标准模型的物理模型。拟议的研究建立在它多年来开发的技术创新和专业知识的基础上。这些技术创新还将有助于利用b标记或重建高度增强的终态的其他CMS研究。更广泛的影响建立在开放科学网格的分布式数据库和模拟领域的这些技术创新的基础上，尤其是在天文学和生命科学领域。此外，通过QuarkNet和一年一度的物理博览会有很强的教育成分，特别有利于巴尔的摩地区代表性不足的群体。
