Frontiers of Theoretical Particle Physics

Abstract

This project will involve PhD and other students, who will work at the frontiers of theoretical particle physics, which provides excellent training in model building and problem solving. They will serve the nation as physicists, but also as teachers, in the finance industry, in the public service and in think tanks, as our former students have done. The quest to understand the ultimate structure of matter has been a part of western culture for the last 2000 years or more. Media stories on this subject are popular, and our work will enable authoritative public outreach as the subject develops, and we find that our present understanding is not the complete story.
