中文摘要
20世纪的主要智力成就之一是粒子物理标准模型(SM)的发展。这个模型成功地将当时已知的所有基本粒子归入具有相似量子性质的群组的层次结构中。最近在欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机上发现的希格斯玻色子证实了这个模型到目前为止的有效性。然而,目前存在的标准模型留下了许多关于宇宙的问题,包括为什么希格斯质量具有它的价值,为什么宇宙中没有反物质等基本问题。要寻找这些和其他关于宇宙的公开问题的答案,它是如何形成的,为什么它是这样的,主要领域之一是专注于中微子的性质研究,并将我们所知道和可以了解的中微子用作超越标准模型的科学探测器。中微子是那些与宇宙中几乎任何其他东西都不相互作用的基本粒子。它们没有电荷,曾经被认为是无质量的。与其他基本粒子一样,它们被认为有一个反物质的对应物,即反中微子。此外,标准模型预测,实际上有三种不同类型的中微子可以通过不同的相互作用来区分,无论何时发生相互作用,它们都会经历不同的相互作用。这项奖励将帮助资助第一个中微子散射理论实验合作(NuSTEC)中微子核散射学校。该校将于2014年10月18日至26日在费米拉布举行。NuSTEC是致力于中微子核散射物理的理论家和实验学家的合作。智力上的优点:该学院的目标是为与核子和原子核的弱电相互作用的物理提供必要的理论背景。理论背景是准备下一代中微子物理学家所必需的。这个学派的首要目标是更好地理解中微子和原子核的相互作用,以便更精确地测量振荡,基于使用实验、理论和模拟的补充方法。目标受众包括理论物理和实验物理的研究生和博士后。广泛影响:NuSTEC合作的目标是培养下一代中微子物理学家。中微子相互作用的精确知识对于未来测量质量和混合中介中微子振荡是绝对必要的。为了能够对中微子物理进行精确测量,下一代中微子物理界需要了解中微子在核环境中弱相互作用的基本物理并对其进行详细建模。我们需要彻底性,这样我们才能可靠地在我们的精确中微子研究所需的广泛能量范围和变化的原子核中应用相关的模型计算。
英文摘要
One of the major intellectual achievements of the 20th century was the development of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. This model succeeded in classifying all of the elementary particles known at the time into a hierarchy of groups having similar quantum properties. The validity of this model to date was recently confirmed by the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. However, the Standard Model as it currently exists leaves open many questions about the universe, including such fundamental questions as to why the Higgs mass has the value it has and why there is no antimatter in the universe. One of the primary areas to search for answers to these and other open questions about the universe, how it came to be and why it is the way it is, is to focus on a study of the properties of neutrinos and to use what we know and can learn about neutrinos as probes of science beyond the Standard Model. Neutrinos are those elementary particles that interact with practically nothing else in the universe. They have no electric charge and were once thought to be massless. Like other elementary particles, they were believed to have an antimatter counterpart, the antineutrino. Moreover, the Standard Model predicted that there were actually three different kinds of neutrinos that were distinguishable through the different interactions that they did undergo whenever there was an interaction. This award will help fund the first Neutrino Scattering Theory Experiment Collaboration (NuSTEC) neutrino nucleus scattering school. The school will be held at Fermilab from October 18 to 26, 2014. NuSTEC is a collaboration of theorists and experimentalists working on neutrino nucleus scattering physics.Intellectual Merit: The aim of the school is to provide the necessary theoretical background on the physics of the electroweak interactions with nucleons and nuclei. The theoretical background is necessary for the preparation of the next generation neutrino physicists. An overarching goal of this school is the better understanding of neutrino−nucleus interactions for more precise oscillation measurements, based on a complementary approach using experiments, theory and simulations. The target audience consists of graduate students and post-docs in both theoretical and experimental physics.Broader Impact: The goal of the NuSTEC collaboration is to train the next generation of neutrino physicists. Precise knowledge of neutrino interactions is an absolute necessity for future measurements of the masses and mixing-mediating neutrino oscillations. To enable precision measurements in neutrino physics, the next generation neutrino physics community needs to understand and model in detail the underlying physics of the neutrino weak interaction within a nuclear environment. Thoroughness is required so that we can reliably apply the relevant model calculations across the wide energy ranges and varying nuclei necessary for our precision neutrino investigations.
