This award will provide three year support for the University of Notre Dame High Energy Physics Group to continue its exploration of the energy frontier with accelerator-based experiments, particularly the D0 experiment at Fermilab and the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Besides extensive hardware contributions and detector commissioning and operations, the physics objectives of the Notre Dame program are broad and will exploit the available data to study top physics, electroweak bosons W and Z, QCD processes, and to search for evidence of electroweak symmetry breaking and other new phenomena. The educational objectives are not only to train postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students to be particle physics professionals but, in addition, to make significant efforts to engage non-traditional participants, high school teachers and high school students, in immersive research experiences at the scientific frontier. This award will provide support for innovative outreach activities and allow the Notre Dame group to maintain its leadership in outreach programs. It is one of the four institutions leading the QuarkNet project, hosts one of the Education Leaders in the Interactions In Understanding the Universe (I2U2) project, and provides support for the USCMS Education and Outreach Coordinator.

该奖项将为巴黎圣母院高能物理小组提供三年的支持，以继续通过基于加速器的实验来探索能源边界，尤其是Fermilab的D0实验，以及在瑞士日内瓦州Cern的大型Hadron Collider（LHC）的紧凑型MUON螺线管（CMS）实验。除了广泛的硬件贡献以及检测器调试和操作外，Notre Dame计划的物理目标还广泛，并将利用可用的数据来研究顶级物理学，Electroweak Bosons W和Z，QCD过程，并搜索Electroweak Symetroek Symmetry Symmetry Breaking和其他新现象的证据。这些教育目标不仅是培训博士后研究人员，毕业生和本科生，成为粒子物理专业人员，而且还要努力与科学领域的非传统参与者，高中老师和高中生一起参与沉浸式研究经验。该奖项将为创新的外展活动提供支持，并允许巴黎圣母院（Notre Dame Group）保持其在外展计划中的领导地位。它是领导Quarknet项目的四个机构之一，在理解宇宙（I2U2）项目的互动中主持了一位教育领袖，并为USCMS教育和外展协调员提供了支持。
