项目摘要

Particle physics stands at a crossroads. The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider has completed the Standard Model of particle physics, but many mysteries remain. Observations of the Universe indicate that components such as dark energy and dark matter which the Standard Model does not describe, and the fact that the Universe is predominantly composed of matter (as opposed to anti-matter), all point to dynamics beyond those contained within it. Understanding these mysteries requires theoretical interpretation to realize the implications of the vast amount of data currently being collected by particle physics experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider and cosmological observations and to propose future experimental searches. The research supported by this award will develop innovative ideas in particle physics and cosmology, and at their interface, to address outstanding problems in a wide variety of fields, including searches for new particles, neutrino physics, the nature of dark matter and its observable signatures, particle cosmology, and advancing our understanding of quantum field theory. It advances the national interest by promoting the progress of science in its most fundamental directions: the work will deepen our understanding of the physical Universe at both the smallest and largest length scales and further our knowledge of the basic building blocks and forces that make up and shape our Universe. The broader impacts of the group's activities are aimed at increasing public interest in and improving public understanding of the exciting results of physics and astronomy research. The group's activities include developing and teaching a COSMOS summer course on particle physics and cosmology to high-achieving high school students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, programs to strengthen the representation of underrepresented minorities in physics and other STEM fields, a wide array of public talks and outreach activities through print and web-based media, the training of postdoctoral researchers and graduate students both at UC Irvine and around the world, and significant contributions in the area of professional service.More technically, the research will be accomplished by applying cutting edge tools in theoretical physics, including quantum field theory, numerical simulations, and machine learning algorithms to advance our understanding of particle physics and cosmology to propose new models of fundamental particles and interactions, to realize the implications of the vast amount of data currently being collected by particle physics experiments and cosmological observations, and to propose future experimental searches. Through applications of these techniques, this work will advance our knowledge of dark matter, neutrino physics, and particle cosmology.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.

粒子物理学正站在一个十字路口。在大型强子对撞机上发现希格斯玻色子完成了粒子物理学的标准模型，但仍有许多未解之谜。对宇宙的观察表明，标准模型没有描述的暗能量和暗物质等成分，以及宇宙主要由物质（与反物质相反）组成的事实，都指向宇宙内部所包含的动力。理解这些谜团需要理论解释，以实现目前由粒子物理实验（如大型强子对撞机和宇宙学观测）收集的大量数据的含义，并提出未来的实验搜索。该奖项支持的研究将在粒子物理学和宇宙学及其界面发展创新思想，以解决各种领域的突出问题，包括寻找新粒子、中微子物理学、暗物质的性质及其可观测特征、粒子宇宙学，以及推进我们对量子场论的理解。它通过促进科学在最基本方向上的进步来促进国家利益：这项工作将加深我们对最小和最大长度尺度的物理宇宙的理解，并进一步加深我们对构成和塑造我们宇宙的基本构件和力量的认识。该小组活动的更广泛影响是旨在提高公众对物理学和天文学令人兴奋的研究成果的兴趣和理解。该组织的活动包括为来自不同社会经济背景的优秀高中生开发和教授一门关于粒子物理学和宇宙学的COSMOS暑期课程，加强在物理学和其他STEM领域中代表性不足的少数族裔的项目，通过印刷和网络媒体进行广泛的公开演讲和推广活动，培训加州大学欧文分校和世界各地的博士后研究人员和研究生，以及在专业服务领域做出的重大贡献。从技术上讲，这项研究将通过应用理论物理中的尖端工具来完成，包括量子场论、数值模拟和机器学习算法，以推进我们对粒子物理和宇宙学的理解，提出基本粒子和相互作用的新模型，以实现粒子物理实验和宇宙学观测目前收集的大量数据的含义。并提出未来的实验搜索。通过这些技术的应用，这项工作将推进我们对暗物质、中微子物理和粒子宇宙学的认识。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
