Theoretical Particle Physics
Particle Phyiscs Phenomenology
- Connect theory and experiment
- Predict the experimental signatures of theories
- Interpret experimental results to identify the underlying theory
- Hadron Physics
- Understand QCD, the theory of the strong interactions
- Use models to predict properties of new hadronic states
- Use models to understand the nature of exotic new hadrons
- Search for New Physics
- Study the experimental signatures of "Beyond the Standard
model theories"
- eg. Discovery and ID Z's predicted
by Extended gauge sectors, Little Higgs
grand unified theories, etc, at LHC and ILC,.
- Understanding EWSB at the LHC
- Understanding EWSB (the origin of mass)
is the a main priority of the LHC
- We are studying the predictions of various models
so we can distinguish between the various possibilities
