This award supports the organization of the 8th Physics At eXtreme (PAX) workshop, entirely focusing on the opportunities and challenges of next-generation gravitational-wave science. PAX is a discussion-driven workshop and includes experts from the wide range of fields that will benefit from next-generation detectors: astronomers, astrophysicists, general relativity theorists, cosmologists, nuclear physicists, numerical relativists and data analysts. PAX provides the optimal venue to identify actionable items and initiate collaborations to tackle the work needed to maximize the scientific output of the next-generation detectors.Next-generation detectors would be built in the second half of the 2030s, when the current generation of students will be leading the field. A major goal of PAX is to directly and actively involve early career scientists in shaping the future of the field. The 8th PAX workshop will include an early career scientist lunch where young and experienced researches can discuss how to make academia more accessible and equitable. A whole session of the workshop will be dedicated to issues related to equity, diversity and inclusion, which are key to ensure the continued success of the gravitational-wave field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持在Extreme（PAX）研讨会上组织第八物理学的组织，完全关注下一代重力波科学的机遇和挑战。 PAX是一个讨论驱动的研讨会，包括将受益于下一代探测器的广泛领域的专家：天文学家，天体物理学家，一般相对论理论家，宇宙学家，核物理学家，数值相对论家和数据分析师。 PAX提供了最佳的场地，以识别可行的项目并启动合作，以解决最大化下一代探测器的科学输出所需的工作。当前一代学生将在2030年代下半年建造次要生成探测器。 PAX的一个主要目标是直接和积极地涉及早期职业科学家，以塑造该领域的未来。第八届PAX研讨会将包括早期的职业科学家午餐，年轻和经验丰富的研究可以讨论如何使学术界更容易获得和公平。整个研讨会将致力于与公平，多样性和包容性有关的问题，这是确保重力波领域持续成功的关键。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来评估通过评估来支持的。
