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.

粒子物理学正处于十字路口。大型强子对撞机希格斯玻色子的发现已经完成了粒子物理的标准模型，但仍有许多谜团。对宇宙的观测表明，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（而不是反物质）组成的事实，都指向超出其所包含的动力学范围。理解这些奥秘需要理论解释，以认识目前通过大型强子对撞机和宇宙学观测等粒子物理实验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交叉领域发展创新思想，以解决各个领域的突出问题，包括寻找新粒子、中微子物理学、暗物质的性质及其可观测的特征、粒子宇宙学以及增进我们对量子场论的理解。它通过在最基本的方向上促进科学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上的物理宇宙的理解，并加深我们对构成和塑造宇宙的基本构件和力量的了解。该小组活动的更广泛影响旨在提高公众对物理学和天文学研究令人兴奋的成果的兴趣并提高公众对这些成果的理解。该小组的活动包括为来自不同社会经济背景的成绩优异的高中生开发和教授关于粒子物理和宇宙学的 COSMOS 夏季课程，加强物理学和其他 STEM 领域中代表性不足的少数群体的代表性的计划，通过印刷和网络媒体开展广泛的公开演讲和外展活动，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，并在从技术上讲，这项研究将通过应用理论物理领域的尖端工具来完成，包括量子场论、数值模拟和机器学习算法，以增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，认识到当前通过粒子物理实验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。通过这些技术的应用，这项工作将增进我们对暗物质、中微子物理和粒子宇宙学的了解。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
