GRK 1054: Particle Physics at the Energy Frontier of New Phenomena

基本粒子物理学的标准模型很好地描述了物质的基本成分，夸克和轻子，以及它们之间的相互作用。但该模型也有不足之处：粒子质量、夸克和轻子的质谱以及它们的生成结构给模型带来了根本性的问题。希格斯玻色子有望解释粒子质量，但仍有待发现。模型的理论问题激发了标准模型在能量上的扩展，在最强大的粒子加速器Tevatron和LHC的范围内。本课题组的研究课题集中在粒子加速器可达的最小距离上的粒子物理研究，以解决标准模型的基本问题：

The fundamental constituents of matter, quarks and leptons, and their interactions are excellently described by the standard model of elementary particle physics. But the model has deficiencies: Particle masses, the mass spectrum of quarks and leptons, and their generation structure pose fundamental problems to the model. The Higgs boson, expected to explain particle masses, still awaits discovery. And theoretical problems of the model motivate extensions of the standard model at energies in the reach of the most powerful particle accelerators Tevatron and LHC. The research topics of this Research Training Group are focused on the investigation of particle physics at the smallest distances accessible by particle accelerators to address the fundamental problems of the standard model:
