This project will support five principal investigators, Kaustubh Agashe, Zackaria Chacko, S. James Gates Jr., Rabindra N. Mohapatra and Raman Sundrum, to continue their on-going theoretical investigations into the nature and origin of the constituents of matter and the forces operating between them as well as the possible existence of extra hidden space dimensions. The PIs will use existing mathematical tools developed for this purpose and seek new ones. They plan to study the nature of the Higgs boson, a major discovery of the past year in the field, the particle that gives mass to matter, and the possible existence of its companion particles that may be indicating any new symmetries or possibly giving mass to tiny particles filling the universe called the neutrinos. This is expected not only to broaden our understanding of the known subatomic phenomena but also in the process, discover new ones that can be tested in machines such as the Large Hadron Collider. The ultimate goal of this research is to seek a fundamental unity among the forces and matter and their impact on the evolution of the Cosmos. These investigations will throw light on such questions as the origin of matter and dark matter in the universe as well as the origin of dark energy and dark radiation. The combination of big picture excitement,intellectual challenge and connections to diverse experiments makes this project an excellent training ground. The project is therefore weighted towards supporting two students and two postdocs. There is a substantial component of education and outreach to broaden the impact of the research, including research for undergraduate and high school students, with an emphasis on students from historically black colleges. The work in this project will be disseminated even more broadly through public and school lectures, and media broadcasts and interviews.

该项目将支持五名主要研究人员Kaustubh Agashe，Zackaria Chacko，S。James Gates Jr.，Rabindra N. Mohapatra和Raman Sundrum，以继续他们对物质组成部分的性质和起源以及它们之间运作的本质和起源以及可能存在的额外的额外的隐藏空间差异。 PI将使用为此目的开发的现有数学工具并寻求新的数学工具。他们计划研究希格斯玻色子的性质，这是过去一年的主要发现，使物质质量的粒子以及其伴随粒子的可能存在，这些粒子可能表明任何新的对称性或可能给予质量的微小颗粒，使宇宙填充了称为中间的宇宙。这不仅可以扩大我们对已知的亚原子现象的理解，而且还可以在此过程中发现可以在诸如大型强子对撞机等机器中进行测试的新型。这项研究的最终目的是寻求力量和物质之间的基本统一及其对宇宙发展的影响。这些调查将阐明诸如宇宙中物质和暗物质的起源以及暗能量和黑暗辐射的起源。 大局兴奋，智力挑战和与各种实验的联系的结合使该项目成为了良好的培训场所。因此，该项目对支持两个学生和两个博士后进行了加权。教育的重要组成部分和宣传可以扩大研究的影响，包括针对本科生和高中生的研究，重点是历史悠久的黑人学院的学生。该项目的工作将通过公开和学校的演讲以及媒体广播和访谈更广泛地传播。
