This CAREER award funds the research activities of Professor Patrick Meade from the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University.The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has finally started to deliver large amounts of data, probing the universe at energies that have never been directly explored before now. During the next few years, the mechanism responsible for the origin of all mass for fundamental particles in the universe will be discovered. Professor Meade's research will be focused on the interplay of theoretical physics, phenomenology and experiment. This interplay is key to either discovering the "new" Standard Model (SM) or completing the last missing ingredients from the existing SM of particle physics. Part of his work will be based on studying the ramifications of existing ideas such as Supersymmetry, while other aspects of his research will focus on more exotic models motivated by experimental results. Professor Meade's research will also investigate the connections between astrophysics, cosmology and our continually evolving understanding of particle physics.This project also plans to have significant broader impacts. Professor Meade plans to participate in the MARIACHI program, an existing program for high school students that provides research opportunities in high energy/astroparticle physics through cosmic ray research. He will also participate in the "adopt-a-physicist" program designed to share the experiences of active physicists with high school students, to promote the benefits of studying physics. Professor Meade also plans to engage local magnet schools via curriculum development or lectures, designed to bring our current understanding of particle physics from the LHC to future scientists more directly.

该职业奖资助来自 C.N. 的 Patrick Meade 教授的研究活动。石溪大学杨理论物理研究所。大型强子对撞机（LHC）终于开始提供大量数据，以以前从未直接探索过的能量探测宇宙。 在接下来的几年里，宇宙中基本粒子所有质量起源的机制将会被发现。 米德教授的研究将集中在理论物理、现象学和实验的相互作用上。 这种相互作用对于发现“新”标准模型 (SM) 或完成粒子物理现有 SM 中最后缺失的成分至关重要。 他的部分工作将基于研究超对称等现有思想的后果，而他研究的其他方面将侧重于由实验结果激发的更奇特的模型。 米德教授的研究还将调查天体物理学、宇宙学和我们对粒子物理学不断发展的理解之间的联系。该项目还计划产生更广泛的影响。 米德教授计划参加 MARIACHI 项目，这是一个针对高中生的现有项目，通过宇宙射线研究提供高能/天体粒子物理学的研究机会。 他还将参加“收养物理学家”计划，该计划旨在与高中生分享活跃物理学家的经验，以宣传学习物理学的好处。 米德教授还计划通过课程开发或讲座与当地磁力学校合作，旨在将我们目前对大型强子对撞机粒子物理学的理解更直接地带给未来的科学家。
