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

这笔续期赠款继续为TASI提供资金，TASI是一年一度的初级粒子物理理论高级研究所，目前由科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的K.T.Mahanthappa和T.Degrand教授指导。自1984年以来，每年都会举办为期四周的塔西暑期项目。TASI的目的是向高级研究生介绍比他们在国内机构中通常所经历的更广泛的想法和主题，同时致力于他们的论文主题。TASI通过就当前理论粒子物理和相关实验课题的研究主题提供了一系列讲座和研讨会，非常成功地实现了这一目标。事实上，在其近30年的历史中，TASI暑期项目已经成为一种重要的教育体验，甚至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的讲座已被录像，并可在网上查阅。这些录像带构成了TASI的一个重要的“更广泛影响”的推广部分，对整个高能物理研究界来说越来越有价值。参加TASI的学生还有机会向他们的同龄人介绍他们目前的研究情况。

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.
