Theoretical High Energy Physics

理论基本粒子物理学的研究将试图进一步开发新的方法来处理这样一个事实，即量子场论的许多预测都是无限的，这些预测都是经过简单计算的。不那么天真的计算，这些预测是有限的，其中一些已经非常成功。在某些情况下，新方法比旧方法更简单，也适用于旧方法不适用的问题。这项研究是我们努力提取基本粒子的所谓“标准模型”的预测的重要组成部分，以便我们能够测试该模型。

Research in theoretical elementary particle physics will attempt to further develop new methods for dealing with the fact than many of the predictions of quantum field theory, naively calculated, are infinite. Less naively calculated, these predictions are finite and some of them have been spectacularly successful. The new methods are simpler than older ones in certain contexts, and are also applicable to problems where the older ones are not. This research is an important component of our efforts to extract the predictions of the so-called "standard model" of the elementary particles, so that we can test that model.
