Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI), held at the University of Colorado, Boulder, CO; June 2013 - 2017

这项续期拨款为TASI提供了持续的资金，TASI是基本粒子物理的年度理论高级研究所，目前由科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的K.T. Mahanthappa和T. deGrand教授领导。自1984年以来，每年都会举办为期四周的TASI暑期课程。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。事实上，在他们近30年的历史中，TASI暑期项目已经成为一项重要的教育经验，并且确实是一代又一代高能理论研究生热切期待的“成人仪式”。此外，自2007年以来，TASI讲座已被录成视频，并可在线访问。这些录像带构成了TASI重要的“更广泛的影响”外展组成部分，并且对整个高能物理研究界越来越有价值。参加TASI的学生也有机会就他们目前的研究向同龄人展示研讨会。

This renewal grant provides continued funding for TASI, the annual Theoretical Advanced Study Institutes in Elementary Particle Physics, currently under the direction of Professors K.T. Mahanthappa and T. deGrand at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The four-week long TASI summer programs have been held every year since 1984. 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. Indeed, during their nearly 30-year history, the TASI summer programs have become a major educational experience and indeed an eagerly anticipated "rite of passage" for literally generations of high-energy theory graduate students. Moreover, since 2007, the TASI lectures have been video-recorded and are accessible online. These video tapes form an important "broader impacts" outreach component of TASI, and have become increasingly valuable to the entire high-energy physics research community. Students attending TASI also have the opportunity to present seminars on their current research to their peers.
