With the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, the range and scope of possible new physics signatures is vast. The Vanderbilt High Energy Physics group has carefully designed a science roadmap that tackles promising and physically well-motivated models/theories, while maintaining sensitivity to more general exotic signatures. This program capitalizes on their established expertise in tau lepton reconstruction and identification and their growing expertise in top quark physics. They exploit this focused toolset to perform searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM), targeting interesting new physics such as the so far elusive Higgs boson, new high mass resonances, Supersymmetry, grand unification of the fundamental forces, and dark matter. This program of utilizing tau and top expertise to search for new physics also provides the backbone for a more extensive long-term vision aimed at providing precision measurements that will help the physics community distinguish between the vast range of physics models.In broader impacts of their research effort, the Vanderbilt HEP group's collaborative efforts with computer scientists are breaking new ground in the area of data logistics through two projects funded by separate NSF awards: REDDnet and DYNES. REDDnet is designed to provide a large distributed storage facility for data intensive collaboration among the nations researchers and educators in a wide variety of application areas. Its mission is to provide working storage to help manage the logistics of moving and staging large amounts of data in the wide area network. REDDnet is serving researchers from a wide variety of application domains, including a digital archive project in the Library of Congress, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope project, and HEP. DYNES is a nationwide cyber-instrument spanning about forty US universities and eleven Internet2 connectors. A collaborative team including Internet2, Caltech, the University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University is working to support large, long-distance scientific data flows from the LHC and other leading programs in data intensive science. The Vanderbilt HEP group has also led a Vanderbilt campus-wide effort to develop a researcher-driven campus-computing center. The Vanderbilt HEP group benefits greatly from the participation of undergraduates in their program. And the group is operating a very active local QuarkNet center that has been an important component of the national QuarkNet Program for nearly a decade.

通过在Cern，Geneva，Switzerland的大型强子对撞机上进行紧凑的MUON电磁阀实验，可能的新物理特征的范围和范围很大。 范德比尔特高能物理小组已经仔细设计了科学路线图，该路线图可以解决有前途且有充分动机的模型/理论，同时保持对更一般的外来特征的敏感性。该计划利用了他们在Tau Lepton重建和识别方面的既定专业知识，以及他们在顶级夸克物理学方面不断增长的专业知识。他们利用这种专注的工具集来对标准模型（BSM）以外的物理进行搜索，以诸如迄今难以捉摸的希格斯玻色子，新的高质量共振，超对称性，基本力量的大统一以及深色物质等有趣的新物理学。该利用tau和最高专业知识来寻找新物理学的计划也为更广泛的长期愿景提供了骨干，旨在提供精确的测量，以帮助物理社区区分广泛的物理模型。研究工作，范德比尔特HEP集团与计算机科学家的合作努力通过两个由独立的NSF奖项资助的项目（Reddnet and Dynes）提供了新的基础。 REDDNET旨在为各种应用领域的国家研究人员和教育工作者之间的数据密集型协作提供大型分布式存储设施。它的任务是提供工作存储空间，以帮助管理大型网络中移动和分期大量数据的物流。 Reddnet正在为来自各种应用领域的研究人员提供服务，包括国会图书馆中的数字档案项目，大型的Synoptic Sumpertic Survey Telescope项目和HEP。 戴恩斯（Dynes）是一个全国性的网络启动，涵盖了40个美国大学和11个Internet2连接器。一个合作团队，包括Internet2，Caltech，密歇根大学和范德比尔特大学（University of Michigan）和范德比尔特大学（Vanderbilt University），正在努力支持来自LHC和数据密集型科学领域的其他领先计划的大型长途科学数据流。范德比尔特HEP集团还领导了范德比尔特校园范围内的努力，以开发一个以研究人员为导向的校园计算中心。范德比尔特HEP小组从本科生参与其计划中受益匪浅。该集团正在经营一个非常活跃的本地夸克中心中心，该中心一直是国家Quarknet计划的重要组成部分。
