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.

这个研究项目旨在通过探索自然的基本对称性及其与质量起源的关系，在最小的尺度上更好地理解宇宙。2012年，一个质量接近125GeV的希格斯玻色子的发现，既代表了粒子物理标准模型的最高成就，也是一个超越它的暗示--如果没有新的、未被发现的物理学，一个轻的希格斯玻色子如何可能在巨大的、不稳定的量子效应中生存下来？此外，从天文观测中已知暗物质的存在；然而，暗物质的粒子性质仍然笼罩着神秘的面纱。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-并有可能做出令人惊讶的发现，可能会改变我们理解物理世界的方式。该奖项将为UIC小组在欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)的大型强子对撞机(LHC)上开展的CMS实验提供支持。CERN是一家位于瑞士日内瓦的粒子物理实验室。该小组将研究希格斯玻色子性质的精确测量；研究顶夸克，包括搜索共振和非共振顶对-产生最高洛伦兹增强，并对破裂的电弱部分的自然性提供独特的观点；以及寻找超对称性的证据。从技术上讲，该小组一直是CMS的Silicon Tracker和Trigger系统的长期贡献者，目前在升级Pixel Track探测器和Level-1触发器方面发挥着主导作用，Pixel Track探测器对于重建事件，特别是那些包含重夸克的事件至关重要，而Level-1触发器对于记录CMS发现科学计划特别感兴趣的罕见事件至关重要。UIC小组成熟的QuarkNet推广计划促进了高中教师和UIC小组成员之间的合作，加强了芝加哥地区高中的教和学。由于这些高中主要为少数族裔学生服务，该项目旨在增加来自历史上代表性不足的群体的学生数量，这些学生主修STEM学科。此外，UIC的学生群体反映了芝加哥的种族和种族多样性，使其成为为少数族裔服务的重要研究机构之一。UIC本科生群体的多样性为该机构和UIC集团提供了一个独特的机会，可以增加选择从事学术和研究事业的少数族裔学生的数量。作为其计划的核心要素，UIC小组将启动一个新的更广泛的影响部分，旨在提高少数族裔物理专业的保留率和毕业率。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
