The Wayne State University particle theory group primarily focuses on investigating the Standard Model (SM) and its potential extensions, exploring connections between theoretical high-energy physics, experimental findings, and cosmological observations. Recently, the team has addressed numerous challenges related to Beyond the SM theories, along with phenomena involving strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions.
Our current understanding of the Standard Model includes three quark and lepton generations governed by the symmetry groups SU(3) √ó SU(2) √ó U(1), representing strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and electromagnetic forces. These forces are mediated by gluons, W/Z bosons, and photons respectively. Extensive experimental evidence supports this model, particularly in the electroweak sector, which has undergone rigorous testing. Any proposed new physical theory must align with these precise electroweak measurements.

Qualification Requirements
To be considered for graduate admission, applicants must have completed an appropriate university-level program comparable in subject matter and credits to a Wayne State bachelor's degree program. While a degree in another country may have a similar name to a U.S. degree, that doesn't mean it requires similar lengths and content of study or that it should be accepted as equivalent.
All graduate applicants must:
Present an excellent scholastic record
Have sufficient financial resources for minimum tuition, supplies and living expenses
Be proficient in English
Applicants whose native language is not English must meet one of the following language proficiency requirements for admission: (1) submit an English language qualifying score, (2) receive provisional admission through the Wayne State University English Language Institute (ELI), (3) qualify for English proficiency exemption.
To establish English proficiency, you are required to submit an official qualifying score meeting minimum Graduate School requirements. The Graduate School's English Language Proficiency requirements are the absolute minimum, programs can set higher minimum standards. You are expected to meet the requirements set by your program of interest.
IELTS 6.5 (overall band), 79 internet-based (iBT and iBT Home Edition) 550 paper-based (PBT)
