项目摘要

This award funds the research activities of Professors Pran Nath, Haim Goldberg, Brent D Nelson and Tomasz Taylor at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. The Principal Investigators (PIs) plan to carry out research in broad areas of particle physics with the aim of deciphering the nature of physics that lies beyond the Standard Model. Their theoretical investigations are closely linked with the current experimental efforts such as those at the Large Hadron Collider as well as in several underground experiments searching for dark matter and satellite experiments which probe the early history of the universe. The efforts of the PIs are based on supersymmetry, supergravity and string theory as these are the leading theoretical frameworks for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The PIs also plan to pursue neutrino cosmology and dark radiation in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and in Cosmic Microwave Background data coming from the PLANCK satellite experiment. This research project also has a strong educational component which involves the training of graduate and undergraduate students. Several students will work with the PIs on their Ph.D. dissertations and additionally the research projects will be used as an educational tool for physics majors regarding developments on particle physics frontiers. The results of this research will be disseminated via publications in refereed journals, through open access arXiv.org, through talks at international conferences, and through popular journals. This research project will also involve collaborators from many countries and thus will enhance international collaboration in fundamental physics.

该奖项资助了马萨诸塞州波士顿东北大学的Pran Nath、Haim Goldberg、Brent D Nelson和Tomasz Taylor教授的研究活动。首席研究人员（pi）计划在粒子物理学的广泛领域开展研究，目的是破译超出标准模型的物理本质。他们的理论研究与当前的实验工作密切相关，例如大型强子对撞机，以及一些寻找暗物质的地下实验和探测宇宙早期历史的卫星实验。pi的努力是基于超对称、超引力和弦理论，因为这些是超越标准模型的新物理学的主要理论框架。PIs还计划研究中微子宇宙学和大爆炸核合成中的暗辐射，以及来自普朗克卫星实验的宇宙微波背景数据。这个研究项目也有很强的教育成分，包括研究生和本科生的培训。一些学生将在他们的博士论文中与pi合作，此外，研究项目将作为物理专业关于粒子物理前沿发展的教育工具。这项研究的结果将通过评审期刊上的出版物、通过开放获取的arXiv.org、通过国际会议上的演讲以及通过流行期刊来传播。该研究项目还将涉及许多国家的合作者，从而将加强基础物理学的国际合作。
