Theoretical research will be carried out on the astrophysical                   implications of new ideas in particle physics.  The early                       universe is thought to have had enormous densities and                          temperatures.  The conditions would provide a natural particle                  accelerator orders of magnitude more powerful than any                          conceivable laboratory accelerator.  The research will involve                  looking into the effects of new particles, if they exist, on                    astrophysical models.                                                                                                                                           Research on the possibility of detecting cosmic strings (trapped                remnants of the early universe) existing in our galaxy or in                    extragalactic environments will be undertaken.  The research will               be focussed on superconducting cosmic strings, which can carry                  currents of up to one million billion electron volts.                           Collaborative research with several experimental groups will                    center on the possibility of detecting "dark matter" that may                   comprise 90% of our galaxy.  The effects that these particles may               have on our Sun and on other stars will be explored.                                                                                                            This is a Presidential Young Investigator Award.
