Proposal for Support of the Annual Phenomenology Symposium at the University of Pittsburgh: 2022-2024

这项拨款资助在宾夕法尼亚匹兹堡大学由陶瀚教授主持的2022年、2023年和2024年年度现象学(PANO)研讨会。年度现象学(PINO)研讨会的目的是展示和讨论理论和实验粒子物理的最新成果；激发前沿研究的新想法，促进物理学家之间的合作；以及鼓励初级物理学家参与和促进他们的职业发展。近年来，一年一度的PINO会议在很大程度上致力于研究欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)的大型强子对撞机(LHC)可能出现的物理学，以及这些实验结果与基本粒子物理、天体物理和宇宙学中其他基于对撞机和非对撞机的实验结果之间的联系。特别鼓励初级物理学家参加PINO研讨会。事实上，PINO会议的一个特点是来自美国和国外许多机构的初级物理学家(研究生、博士后和初级教师)的大量参与。来自代表性不足群体的物理学家也被专门招募和充分代表。因此，菲诺会议已经成为美国高能物理领域规模最大的专业学生会议。因此，这笔拨款通过支持美国尖端科学基础设施的发展和培训初级物理学家参与最新的研究开发，符合国家利益。这一奖项反映了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。

This grant award provides support for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 Annual Phenomenology (PHENO) Symposia at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, under the direction of Professor Tao Han.The purpose of the Annual Phenomenology (PHENO) Symposia is to present and discuss state-of-the-art results in theoretical and experimental particle physics; to stimulate new ideas in cutting-edge research and foster collaborations among physicists; and to encourage the participation of junior physicists and nurture their career development. In recent years, the annual PHENO conferences have been devoted, in large part, to studying the physics that might emerge from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland, and to the connections between these experimental results and results from other collider- and non-collider-based experiments in both elementary particle physics and astrophysics and cosmology. Junior physicists are especially encouraged to attend the Pheno Symposia. Indeed, a characteristic feature of the PHENO Conferences is the significant involvement of junior physicists (graduate students, postdocs, and beginning faculty) attending from many institutions in the US and abroad. Physicists from under-represented groups are also specifically recruited and well represented. As a result, the PHENO Conferences have become nothing less than the largest professional student meetings in high-energy physics in the United States. As such, this grant serves the national interest by supporting the development of a cutting-edge scientific infrastructure in the United States and the training of junior physicists to take part in the most current research developments.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.
