Studies in Elementary Particle Physics

该奖项为约翰霍普金斯大学实验高能物理组的强子对撞机物理计划提供持续支持，为期三年。知识价值来自发现和理解的新时代，它已经并将继续在粒子物理学领域取得进展。该小组将主要在CERN大型强子对撞机（LHC）的CMS实验中进行实验粒子物理研究计划。该计划的科学目标是确定自发对称性破缺的来源，并显着限制标准模型之外的物理模型。拟议的研究建立在它多年来发展的技术创新和专门知识的基础上。这些技术创新也将有助于其他CMS研究，这些研究利用了b-标记或重建高度增强的最终状态。更广泛的影响建立在分布式数据库和开放科学网格模拟领域的技术创新基础上，特别是在天文学和生命科学领域。此外，通过QuarkNet和年度物理博览会，有一个强大的教育组件，特别有利于巴尔的摩地区代表性不足的群体。

This award provides continued support for the hadron collider-physics program of the experimental high-energy physics group at Johns Hopkins University, Morris Swartz - PI, for a three-year period. The intellectual merit follows from the new era of discovery and understanding which has and will continue to progress in the field of particle physics. The group will conduct a program of experimental particle physics research primarily within the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The scientific goals of the program are to determine the source of spontaneous symmetry breaking and to significantly constrain models of physics beyond the Standard Model. The proposed research builds on technical innovations and expertise that it has developed over a number of years. The technical innovations will also assist other CMS research that makes use of b-tagging or the reconstruction of highly boosted final states. The broader impact builds on these technical innovations in the area of distributed databases and simulations on the Open Science Grid most notably in the fields of astronomy and the life sciences. In addition, there is a strong educational component through QuarkNet and annual Physics Fairs which especially benefit underrepresented groups in the Baltimore area.
