Particle Physics in the Era of Data

该奖项资助了哈佛大学丽莎·兰德尔教授的研究活动。在接下来的几年里，我们有望在大型强子对撞机、暗物质实验、风味和电弱领域的精确测试中发现新的现象和粒子。兰德尔教授的研究将集中在大型强子对撞机和暗物质模型的建立上。兰德尔教授还将继续解决与标准模型之外的各种物理理论预测相关的理论问题。高能物理学界也看到，新的物理效应或新的奇异现象可能处于运动学可及的边缘。这对理论学家和实验学家都提出了挑战，要求这两个群体都将聪明才智发挥到极限，以便尽可能多地发现问题。因此，兰德尔教授将继续进行研究，其目的是发现大型强子对撞机实验的最大潜力，并制定一致的方案，以便对理论建议进行最全面的测试。这项研究的更广泛的影响是它与实验社区的强烈互动，以及将参与该项目的年轻科学家的培训。兰德尔教授也将继续参与科学的公众传播。

This award funds the research activities of Professor Lisa Randall at Harvard University. The next few years hold the promise of the discovery of new phenomena and particles: at the Large Hadron Collider, in dark-matter experiments, and in precision tests of flavor and the electroweak sector. Professor Randall's research will focus on LHC and dark-matter model building. Professor Randall will also continue to address theoretical issues related to predictions from various theories of physics beyond the Standard Model. The high-energy physics community has also been seeing that the new physics effects or new exotic phenomena might be at the edge of what is kinematically accessible. This poses challenges to both theorists and experimenters, requiring that both communities stretch ingenuity to the limits in order to uncover as much as possible. Accordingly, Professor Randall will continue to pursue research whose aim is to find the fullest potential of LHC experiments and to formulate consistent scenarios that will allow the most comprehensive tests of theoretical proposals. The broader impact of this research is its strong interaction with the experimental community, as well as the training of junior scientists who will be involved in this project. Professor Randall will also continue her involvement in the public communication of science.
