This award will provide participant and infrastructure support for early career scientists and graduate students to participate in the seventh BOOST workshop that is planned to take place August 10 - 14 at the University of Chicago, Il. The main goal of this workshop is to bring together people with an interest in particle physics and the eventual discovery, possibly at the LHC, of particles whose existence is not predicted in the Standard Model (SM). This interest will focus on patterns that can be experimentally recognized in particle jets arising from decays of massive, beyond SM particles decaying to lighter systems. In addition to the study of signatures in particle jets for boosted decays of heavy systems, other questions that lie at the forefront of our understanding of beyond SM physics will also be examined. The 2015 workshop is expected to draw participation from approximately 130 physicists divided between experimental collider physics from both theoretical end experimental aspects. Broader Impacts: The scientific thrust is basic research that affects many areas of modern science and technology. A better understanding of the potential connections between new fundamental particles will lead to determining their impact on the early universe. The program will offer a stimulating environment for interaction between diverse groups of scientists and will contribute directly to training of young US scientists. The LHC has become, in recent times, a scientific endeavour of broad interest and familiarity to many citizens of the world.

该奖项将为早期职业科学家和研究生提供参与者和基础设施支持，以参加计划于 8 月 10 日至 14 日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥大学举行的第七届 BOOST 研讨会。 本次研讨会的主要目标是将对粒子物理学感兴趣的人们聚集在一起，并最终可能在大型强子对撞机上发现标准模型（SM）中未预测其存在的粒子。 这种兴趣将集中于可以在粒子射流中通过实验识别的模式，这些模式是由质量超过 SM 的粒子衰变到更轻的系统而产生的。 除了研究重系统加速衰变的粒子射流特征之外，我们还将研究超越 SM 物理学的理解中最前沿的其他问题。 2015 年研讨会预计将吸引约 130 名物理学家参与，他们分别来自理论和实验两个方面的实验对撞机物理领域。更广泛的影响：科学主旨是影响现代科学技术许多领域的基础研究。 更好地了解新基本粒子之间的潜在联系将有助于确定它们对早期宇宙的影响。该计划将为不同科学家群体之间的互动提供一个刺激的环境，并将直接有助于美国年轻科学家的培训。 近年来，大型强子对撞机已成为世界许多公民广泛感兴趣和熟悉的一项科学事业。
