Particle physics attempts to understand the Universe and its evolution in terms of the interplay of a small number of fundamental forces and particles. The last thirty years has seen the development of a robust and extremely successful theoretical framework, known as the Standard Model, in which all available data can be explained. However, this model is demonstrably incomplete and has many parameters that must be inserted by hand. Our proposed progamme will significantly advance our understanding of whatever theory must be constructed to replace the Standard Model. Our collaboration in the SNO experiment has been a major contributor to our understanding of the phenomenon of neutrino mass, originally outside the Standard Model. As SNO draws to an end, we will continue our neutrino investigations with a leading role in the MINOS experiment and the next generation experiment based in Japan, T2K. We plan to measure other fundamental properties of the neutrino, such as whether or not it is its own antiparticle - a Majorana or a Dirac neutrino - by utilising our unique experience with the SNO experiment and its underground laboratory. The CDF experiment is coming to the end of its life as LHC takes over the energy frontier, but we intend to continue our important contributions to the remaining running and in the exploitation of the full data sample to produce papers. The ZEUS experiment has now completed data taking; we are determined to play a major part in bringing these classic results on the structure of the proton, and the strong interaction, to publication. These results are likely to remain in the text-books for many years. After the disappointment of the failure of the LHC in 2008, repairs are well under way and the LHC experiments will come on line during the period of this Rolling Grant. We will ensure that Oxford plays a major role in the extraction of physics results from ATLAS and LHCb, which have the potential to completely revolutionise our understanding of particle physics. We are committed to providing the computing resources and analysis tools necessary for the extraction of these results, and our work in ensuring that Grid concepts and technology are available to the wider academic and business community will continue. The CRESST-II and cryo-EDM experiments will use technologies in which Oxford has a world lead to explore some of the most important questions in particle physics and cosmology; in particular the nature off the material that appears to make up most of the Universe. The spokesman of a major new initiative in this area, EURECA, is from Oxford, so that we will continue our leading role in the search for Dark Matter. The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science has major programmes in the accelerators of the future, including Linear Colliders and the Neutrino Factory. The JAI has established itself as a world-class institute in accelerator physics under the leadership of Professor Peach; we are starting the search for a world-class accelerator scientist to be his successor. We are also providing leaders in international bodies charged with the development of new accelerators. We will continue to develop and enhance our capabilities in mechanical and electronics design so that Oxford will retain the ability to construct the most sophisticated apparatus of whatever size is required for the physics objectives. We are determined to play a leading role in world particle physics in the future, as we have in the past.

粒子物理学试图从少数基本力和颗粒的相互作用来理解宇宙及其演变。过去30年来，发展了一个强大而非常成功的理论框架（称为标准模型），可以解释所有可用的数据。但是，该模型显然是不完整的，并且具有许多参数，必须手动插入。我们提出的进程将大大提高我们对必须构建的任何理论来取代标准模型的理解。我们在SNO实验中的合作是我们对中微子质量现象的理解，最初是在标准模型之外的。随着SNO结束时，我们将继续进行中微子调查，并在MINOS实验和基于日本T2K的下一代实验中发挥领导作用。我们计划通过利用我们在SNO实验及其地下实验室中的独特经验来衡量中微子的其他基本特性，例如它是否是其自身的反颗粒或狄拉克中微子。随着LHC接管Energy Frontier，CDF实验即将结束，但我们打算继续对剩余的运行以及开发完整的数据样本来生产论文的重要贡献。宙斯实验现已完成数据获取。我们决心在将这些经典的结果带入质子的结构以及强烈的互动中发挥作用。这些结果可能会在教科书中保留很多年。在2008年LHC失败的失望之后，维修正在进行中，LHC实验将在此滚动赠款期间进行。我们将确保牛津在Atlas和LHCB的物理学提取中起重要作用，这些物理学有可能完全彻底改变我们对粒子物理的理解。我们致力于提供提取这些结果所需的计算资源和分析工具，并为确保更广泛的学术和商业社区提供网格概念和技术的工作。 CRESST-II和CRYO-EDM实验将使用牛津拥有世界的技术来探索粒子物理和宇宙学上一些最重要的问题。尤其是大部分宇宙的材料的自然。该领域的一项重大新计划的发言人来自牛津，因此我们将继续在寻找暗物质中的领导作用。约翰·亚当斯（John Adams）加速器科学研究所（John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science）在未来的加速器中制定了主要计划，包括线性船员和中微子工厂。在桃教授的领导下，Jai已成为加速物理学的世界一流学院。我们正在开始寻找世界一流的加速器科学家，成为他的继任者。我们还为负责开发新加速器的国际机构的领导者提供了领导者。我们将继续开发和增强机械和电子设计方面的能力，以便牛津保留构建物理目标所需大小最复杂的设备的能力。像过去一样，我们决心将来在世界粒子物理学中发挥领导作用。
