The University of Notre Dame High Energy Physics Group is committed to the exploration of the energy frontier in particle physics with accelerator-based experiments. The group is engaged in several related projects using the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN Laboratory, Geneva, Switzerland, the highest energy accelerator in the world. The group is also active in future critical upgrades of the CMS detector and and Education and Outreach through QuarkNet and many other public-facing initiatives. Together these activities place the group at the forefront of both particle physics experimentation and outreach. This award will facilitate further developments in the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, one of the highest priority quests in physics for the 21st century.The CMS experiment has recently begun the first physics run at 13 TeV center of mass energy, accumulating initial data from an LHC dataset that should exceed 100 fb-1 over the next few years. This dataset represents an unprecedented opportunity for physics studies at the electroweak scale and opens a potentially dramatic era in the search for new physics. For its analytical contributions, the Notre Dame group has taken a leading role in several analyses at the forefront of the Higgs discovery and searches for new phenomena. This award will continue this group's broad technical contributions, including: electromagnetic calorimeter operations and management of the U.S. contributions; leadership in High Level Trigger monitoring; leadership in the CMS Simulation effort and in Data Preservation; research and development for experimental upgrades of CMS calorimetry for improved performance at high luminosity; and in Computing, the group holds a U.S. CMS management position related to university-based computing facilities. The centerpiece of the group's outreach efforts is QuarkNet, now in its eighteenth year. Notre Dame is one of three institutions leading this national project and is the managing institution. QuarkNet currently consists of 50 Centers in 25 States and Puerto Rico and has been expanded to include eleven different experimental programs at seven national and foreign laboratories. Through such efforts as QuarkNet, the particle physics field is creating a suite of outreach materials and demonstration projects that bring the excitement of particle physics, the "buzz" about the LHC, to the public on a number of levels, from real physics analysis on LHC Higgs data in the classroom to particle detectors on display in museums such as the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.

圣母大学高能物理小组通过基于加速器的实验探索粒子物理学的能量前沿。该小组使用紧凑型MUON螺线管（CMS）实验在世界上最高的能量加速器的CERN实验室，在CERN实验室的大型强子对撞机（LHC）上参与了几个相关项目。 该小组还积极参与CMS探测器以及通过Quarknet以及许多其他公共面向公共计划的教育和外展的关键升级。 这些活动共同将小组置于粒子物理实验和外展的最前沿。该奖项将促进在标准模型之外寻找新物理学的进一步发展，这是21世纪物理学的最高优先级任务之一。CMS实验最近开始在TEV质量能源中心的第一个物理学开始，从LHC数据集中积累了LHC数据集的初始数据，该数据在未来几年内应超过100 FB-1。该数据集代表了Electroweak量表上物理研究的前所未有的机会，并在寻找新物理学时打开了一个潜在的戏剧性时代。 对于其分析贡献，巴黎圣母院集团在Higgs Discovery的最前沿的多个分析中发挥了领导作用，并寻找了新现象。 该奖项将继续该集团的广泛技术贡献，包括：电磁热量表运营和美国捐款的管理；高水平触发监控的领导；在CMS模拟工作和数据保存方面的领导； CMS量热法实验升级的研究和开发，以提高发光度的性能；在计算中，该集团担任与大学计算设施相关的美国CMS管理职位。该组织的外展工作的核心是Quarknet，现在已经十八年了。巴黎圣母院是领导该国家项目的三个机构之一，是管理机构。 Quarknet目前由25个州和波多黎各的50个中心组成，并已扩大到包括七个国家和外国实验室的11种不同的实验计划。 通过Quarknet这样的努力，粒子物理领域正在创建一套外展材料和演示项目，从而使粒子物理学的兴奋，对LHC的“嗡嗡声”，从多个层面上，从对LHC Higgs的真正物理分析到教室中的粒子检测到全国空气和空间博物馆等博物馆中的粒子检测。
