This award supports the organization of the 8th Physics At eXtreme (PAX) workshop, entirely focusing on the opportunities and challenges of next-generation gravitational-wave science. PAX is a discussion-driven workshop and includes experts from the wide range of fields that will benefit from next-generation detectors: astronomers, astrophysicists, general relativity theorists, cosmologists, nuclear physicists, numerical relativists and data analysts. PAX provides the optimal venue to identify actionable items and initiate collaborations to tackle the work needed to maximize the scientific output of the next-generation detectors.Next-generation detectors would be built in the second half of the 2030s, when the current generation of students will be leading the field. A major goal of PAX is to directly and actively involve early career scientists in shaping the future of the field. The 8th PAX workshop will include an early career scientist lunch where young and experienced researches can discuss how to make academia more accessible and equitable. A whole session of the workshop will be dedicated to issues related to equity, diversity and inclusion, which are key to ensure the continued success of the gravitational-wave field.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.

该奖项支持第八届物理极限（PAX）研讨会的组织，完全专注于下一代引力波科学的机遇和挑战。PAX是一个以讨论为导向的研讨会，包括来自广泛领域的专家，他们将受益于下一代探测器：天文学家，天体物理学家，广义相对论理论家，宇宙学家，核物理学家，数值相对论家和数据分析师。百富提供了最佳的场所，以确定可操作的项目，并启动合作，以解决最大限度地提高下一代探测器的科学产出所需的工作。下一代探测器将在2030年代后半期建造，届时当代学生将成为该领域的领导者。百富的一个主要目标是直接和积极地让早期职业科学家参与塑造该领域的未来。第八届PAX研讨会将包括一个早期职业科学家午餐，年轻和经验丰富的研究人员可以讨论如何使学术界更容易获得和公平。整个研讨会将致力于与公平、多样性和包容性相关的问题，这是确保引力波领域持续成功的关键。该奖项反映了NSF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。
