GRK 1054: Particle Physics at the Energy Frontier of New Phenomena

物质的基本组成部分，夸克和轻子，以及它们之间的相互作用，在基本粒子物理学的标准模型中得到了很好的描述。但是这个模型也有不足之处：粒子质量、夸克和轻子的质量谱，以及它们的生成结构都给这个模型带来了根本性的问题。希格斯玻色子有望解释粒子质量，但仍有待发现。该模型的理论问题促使标准模型在最强大的粒子加速器Tevatron和LHC的能量范围内扩展。该研究培训小组的研究课题集中在粒子物理学的调查在粒子加速器可访问的最小距离，以解决标准模型的基本问题：

The fundamental constituents of matter, quarks and leptons, and their interactions are excellently described by the standard model of elementary particle physics. But the model has deficiencies: Particle masses, the mass spectrum of quarks and leptons, and their generation structure pose fundamental problems to the model. The Higgs boson, expected to explain particle masses, still awaits discovery. And theoretical problems of the model motivate extensions of the standard model at energies in the reach of the most powerful particle accelerators Tevatron and LHC. The research topics of this Research Training Group are focused on the investigation of particle physics at the smallest distances accessible by particle accelerators to address the fundamental problems of the standard model:
