Subatomic particle physics is the science that describes the most fundamental building blocks of the world around us - the basic forces and particles that shape our Universe. After decades of bold experiments and theoretical advances, we have the "Standard Model", which is the most precise scientific theory we have in science. However, it leaves unanswered some very deep questions about our Universe: what is the dark matter inferred from astrophysical observations? Why do particles have the masses they do? What is the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry? Why is gravity so much weaker than the other forces? At its core my proposal is about developing new ways of exploring the subatomic world and formulating novel ideas for going beyond the Standard Model. Some of the key questions my proposal is concerned with are: Are there new particles beyond those of the Standard Model? Is dark matter a new fundamental particle? Are there new forces associated with neutrinos? As part of this effort my research seeks to construct new tools, develop new methods, and propose new experiments to shed light on these fundamental questions.

亚原子粒子物理学是一门描述我们周围世界最基本组成部分的科学-塑造我们宇宙的基本力量和粒子。经过几十年的大胆实验和理论进步，我们有了“标准模型”，这是我们在科学中所拥有的最精确的科学理论。然而，它留下了一些关于我们宇宙的非常深刻的问题没有回答：从天体物理观测中推断出的暗物质是什么？为什么粒子有质量？物质-反物质不对称的起源是什么？为什么引力比其他力弱得多？ 我的建议的核心是开发探索亚原子世界的新方法，并制定超越标准模型的新想法。我的建议涉及的一些关键问题是：是否存在标准模型之外的新粒子？暗物质是一种新的基本粒子吗？有没有与中微子有关的新力量？作为这项工作的一部分，我的研究旨在构建新的工具，开发新的方法，并提出新的实验来阐明这些基本问题。
