A number of theoretical investigations in theoretical elementary particle physics will be carried out, focusing primarily on the physics of the strongly interacting particles as described by the quantum chromodynamic theory which is widely accepted as the correct fundamental description of the nuclear force. The methods used will involve extensive computations on massively parallel dedicated computers. An important specific aim of the research is an accurate (few percent) calculation from the fundamental theory of the electromagnetic fine structure of the spectrum of strongly interacting particles. This will be one of the first precise tests of quantum chromodynamics, which up to now has only been tested at best at the 5-10% level. In addition, this research program is the first to allow an accurate determination of the masses of the quarks, the fundamental building blocks of all known strongly interacting particles.

将在理论基本粒子物理学中进行许多理论研究，主要集中在量子染色体学理论所描述的强相互作用颗粒的物理上，该理论被广泛接受为对核力量的正确基本描述。 所使用的方法将涉及大量并行专用计算机上的广泛计算。 该研究的一个重要特定目的是从强烈相互作用颗粒光谱的电磁精细结构的基本理论中进行准确的（百分比）计算。 这将是量子染色体动力学的第一个精确测试之一，到目前为止，该测试最多只能在5-10％的水平上进行测试。 此外，该研究计划是第一个允许准确确定夸克的质量，夸克的质量是所有已知的强烈相互作用粒子的基本构建块。
