This program of research aims to better understand the Universe at the smallest scales by probing nature's basic symmetries and their relation to the origin of mass. The 2012 discovery of a Higgs boson with mass close to 125 GeV represents both the crowning achievement of the Standard Model of particle physics and a hint beyond it - how can a light Higgs boson possibly survive huge, destabilizing quantum effects without new, undiscovered physics? Further, dark matter is known to exist from astronomical observations; however, the particle properties of dark matter remain shrouded in mystery. The combined activities of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) group address such basic questions puzzling science - the origin of mass and the particle nature of dark matter - and have the potential for surprising discoveries that may change the way we understand our physical world. This award will provide support for the UIC group's work on the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, a particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. The group will be studying precision measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson; studies of the top quark including searches for resonant as well as non-resonant top pair-production up to the very highest Lorentz boosts and offering a unique view on the naturalness of the broken electroweak sector; and search for evidence of Supersymmetry.Technically, the group has been a long-term contributor to both the Silicon Tracker and Trigger systems for CMS and is currently playing leading roles in upgrades to the Pixel Tracking Detector, essential to the reconstruction of events and particularly those containing heavy quarks, and to the Level-1 Trigger, which is critical to the recording of the rare events of special interest to the CMS program of discovery science. The mature QuarkNet outreach program of the UIC group fosters collaboration between high school teachers and the UIC group members, strengthening teaching and learning in Chicago-area high schools. As these high schools serve predominantly minority students, this project aims to increase the number of students from historically underrepresented groups that major in STEM disciplines. Additionally, UIC's student body reflects the ethnic and racial diversity of Chicago, making it one of the important minority-serving Research 1 institutions. The diversity of the UIC undergraduate population gives the institution and the UIC group a unique opportunity to increase the number of minority students that choose to pursue an academic and research career. As a central element of its program, the UIC group will initiate a new broader impacts component, aimed at increasing the retention and graduation rates of minority physics majors.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研究计划旨在通过探索自然界的基本对称性及其与质量起源的关系，更好地了解最小尺度下的宇宙。2012年发现的质量接近125 GeV的希格斯玻色子代表了粒子物理学标准模型的最高成就，也暗示了超越标准模型的一个暗示--如果没有新的、未被发现的物理学，一个轻的希格斯玻色子怎么可能在巨大的、不稳定的量子效应中生存下来？此外，暗物质是已知存在的天文观测;然而，暗物质的粒子性质仍然笼罩在神秘之中。伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）小组的联合活动解决了这些困扰科学的基本问题-质量的起源和暗物质的粒子性质-并有可能改变我们理解物理世界的方式的惊人发现。该奖项将为UIC小组在瑞士日内瓦粒子物理实验室CERN的大型强子对撞机（LHC）上的CMS实验工作提供支持。该小组将研究希格斯玻色子性质的精确测量;研究顶夸克，包括寻找共振和非共振顶对产生，直到最高的洛伦兹助推，并提供关于破碎的电弱扇区自然性的独特观点;寻找超对称性的证据技术上来说该小组一直是CMS的Silicon Tracker和Trigger系统的长期贡献者，目前正在像素跟踪探测器的升级中发挥主导作用，这对事件的重建至关重要，特别是那些包含重夸克的事件，以及对1级触发器至关重要，这对CMS发现科学计划特别感兴趣的罕见事件的记录至关重要。UIC集团成熟的QuarkNet外展计划促进了高中教师和UIC集团成员之间的合作，加强了芝加哥地区高中的教学和学习。由于这些高中主要为少数民族学生服务，该项目旨在增加来自历史上代表性不足的STEM学科的学生人数。 此外，UIC的学生群体反映了芝加哥的民族和种族多样性，使其成为重要的少数民族服务研究机构之一。UIC本科生人口的多样性为该机构和UIC集团提供了一个独特的机会，以增加选择从事学术和研究职业的少数民族学生的数量。作为其计划的一个核心要素，UIC集团将启动一个新的更广泛的影响组成部分，旨在提高少数民族物理专业的保留率和毕业率。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
