Theoretical Studies in QCD, Electroweak and non Standard Model Physics

该提案要求继续支持PI及其Co-PI在粒子物理学和天体物理学重要领域的广泛研究计划。提出的粒子物理学主要与大型强子对撞机有关，包括了希格斯机制的电弱对称性破缺（EWSB）的可能替代方案和希格斯实验特征的详细计算;但它也包括了重夸克偶素系统的光谱学工作。天体物理学包括利用超新星和宇宙微波背景辐射的数据研究暗能量，以及在强磁场和其他高能天体物理情况下的中微子相互作用。私家侦探雷普科是天体物理学研究专家而施密特是希格斯粒子物理学专家。更广泛的影响包括与实验的密切联系，以及对学生进行各种学科的培训。他们还包括PI积极参与重建本科学校Marietta College的物理课程。

This proposal requests continued support for a broad program of research by the PI and his Co-PI in important areas of particle physics and astrophysics. The particle physics proposed relates largely to the LHC and includes both possible alternatives to the Higgs mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) and detailed calculations of experimental signatures for the Higgs; but it also includes work on the spectroscopy of heavy quarkonium systems. the astrophysics includes studies of dark energy using supernova and CMB data, and neutrino interactions in intense magnetic fields and other high energy astrophysical situations. Repko, the PI is an expert in the astrophysical studies and Schmidt on the Higgs physics. The broader impacts include the close connection to experiments, and the training of students across a broad variety of subjects. They also include active participation by the PI in rebuilding the physics program at an undergraduate school, Marietta College.
