Searching for the Higgs Boson and the Top Quark: Probing the Mechanism of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking

理论基本粒子物理学的研究将包括两个对理解基本相互作用至关重要的领域。第一个问题涉及基本粒子质量的起源。第二个问题是最重的粒子之间的相互作用。澄清了与这两个问题相关的各种情景的现象学含义。这项研究对现有设施的实验和计划在未来设施进行的实验非常重要。它对于检验我们对存在于基本粒子之间的力的理解至关重要。＊＊＊

9309902 Yuan Research in theoretical elementary particle physics will include two areas of vital importance in understanding the basic interactions. The first concerns the origins of masses of the fundamental particles. The second concerns the interactions of the heaviest of these particles. Phenomenological implications of various scenarios relevant to these two questions are clarified. The research is important for experiments at existing facilities, and those planned for upcoming facilities. It is crucial for testing our understanding of the forces that exist among elementary particles. ***
