Research in High Energy Physics: Theory and Phenomenology of Supersymmetry

理论基本粒子物理学的研究将包括超对称和其他基本粒子相互作用的新理论的研究。超对称理论是一个很有前途的理论，它预示着许多新的重亚原子粒子的存在。这些粒子的性质，包括它们的质量和它们衰变为其他粒子的速率，将在各种不同的理论假设下进行研究。由此得出的预测很重要，因为它们将影响许多目前和未来寻找新粒子的实验的计划和分析。这些研究对于理解涉及非常高能相互作用的粒子物理行为至关重要。它们还将影响我们对早期宇宙物理学的理解，当时所考虑的粒子可能很多。

Research in theoretical elementary particle physics will include studiesof supersymmetry and other new theories of fundamental particleinteractions. Supersymmetry is a promising idea which predicts theexistence of many new heavy subatomic particles. The properties of theseparticles, including their masses and the rates at which they decay intoother particles, will be studied under a variety of different theoreticalassumptions. The resulting predictions are important because they will affect boththe planning and the analysis of many present and future experiments thatsearch for new particles. These studies are of central importance forunderstanding the behavior of particle physics involving interactions atvery high energies. They will also impact on our understanding of thephysics of the very early universe, when the particles under considerationwould have been plentiful.
