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.

该职业奖为C.N. Patrick Meade教授的研究活动提供了资金。斯托尼·布鲁克大学（Stony Brook University）的杨理论物理研究所。 在接下来的几年中，将发现负责宇宙中所有质量基本粒子起源的机制。 米德教授的研究将集中于理论物理学，现象学和实验的相互作用。 此相互作用是发现“新”标准模型（SM）或从现有粒子物理SM中填写的最后丢失成分的关键。 他的一部分工作将基于研究现有思想的影响，例如超对称性，而他的研究的其他方面将集中于以实验结果激励的更奇特的模型。 米德教授的研究还将调查天体物理学，宇宙学与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大的影响。 Meade教授计划参加Marionchi计划，这是一个针对高中生的现有计划，该计划通过宇宙射线研究提供了高能量/Astroparticle物理学的研究机会。 他还将参加旨在与高中生分享活跃物理学家的经验的“收养物理学家”计划，以促进学习物理学的好处。 米德教授还计划通过课程开发或讲座与当地的磁铁学校互动，旨在将我们当前对粒子物理学的理解从LHC更直接地传达给未来的科学家。
