This work carries out a physics program focused on testing whether the newly discovered Higgs boson shows any deviations from Standard Model expectations as well as searching for new particles, particularly those predicted by supersymmetric theories. To that end, the Notre Dame group will continue to maintain and operate the CMS electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, the CMS trigger, while expanding its efforts in upgrades of the CMS detector. This work is aimed at contributing to our understanding of the mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking and the identity of dark matter. Although the proposed research activities already have a broad impact through their potential to transform our understanding of the fundamental laws of physics, the broader impacts of this proposal are further enhanced through a variety of educational and outreach activities that continue to build on Notre Dame's strength in those areas.

这项工作进行了一个物理计划，重点是测试新发现的希格斯玻色子是否显示出与标准模型预期的任何偏差，以及寻找新的粒子，特别是那些由超对称理论预测的粒子。 为此，Notre Dame集团将继续维护和操作CMS电磁和强子量热计，CMS触发器，同时扩大其在CMS探测器升级方面的努力。这项工作的目的是有助于我们理解的机制，电弱对称性破缺和暗物质的身份。虽然拟议的研究活动已经产生了广泛的影响，因为它们有可能改变我们对物理学基本定律的理解，但通过继续利用圣母院在这些领域的实力的各种教育和外联活动，这一提议的更广泛影响得到了进一步加强。
