Computational Quantum Field Theory, Dark Matter and Beyond the Standard Model Physics

人们提出了许多不同的理论，将暗物质的身份与其他新粒子的存在联系起来。这个项目的第一个目标是从量子场论出发，开发自动计算这些理论的可观测结果和运动方程的方法。第二种是使用新方法来测试各种理论，将预测与对新物理的不同实验和天文学搜索进行广泛的比较。这些包括大型强子对撞机、较小的粒子对撞机、伽马射线望远镜、宇宙反物质探测器、在世界最深的矿井中进行的超清洁实验，以及嵌入南极冰层的中微子望远镜。该项目将涉及在大规模计算框架中实施新方法，以进行理论计算并与实验数据进行比较。这些比较旨在约束和激励超越标准模型物理学的继续研究方向。

Many different theories have been proposed that link the identity of dark matter to the existence of other new particles. The first goal of this project is to develop methods for automatically calculating observable consequences and equations of motion for these theories, starting from quantum field theory. The second is to use the new methods to test various theories by comparing the predictions to a broad range of different experimental and astronomical searches for new physics. These include the LHC, smaller particle colliders, gamma-ray telescopes, cosmic antimatter probes, ultra-clean experiments in the world's deepest mines, and a neutrino telescope embedded in the Antarctic ice at the South Pole. The project will involve implementing the new methods in a large-scale computational framework for carrying out theoretical calculations and comparing with experimental data. These comparisons aim to constrain and motivate the direction of continued research in beyond the standard model physics.
