The three-year timescale is particularly exciting with the possibility of imminent Higgs discovery at the LHC and the opening of a new energy frontier as part of the upgrade programme: we will focus our efforts on Higgs analysis, discovery and interpretation, and the search for new physics in CP violation and rare B decays. Improved analysis techniques, well-calibrated detectors, increased computing power and theoretical input will be essential and we are at the forefront of the required developments in these areas.All academics are heavily involved in the LHC programme and our strategy is to generate leading-edge physics results from two experiments (ATLAS and LHCb) based upon expertise developed in those experiments as well as from CDF. We will provide timely first results in Higgs limit setting and discovery for ATLAS, based upon our current expertise. Having secured high-quality completion on CDF, where we set earlier limits in the Higgs analyses, we will ensure that this experience will underpin future ATLAS publications. Based on our earlier work, we will be key players in answering questions concerning the origin of mass and the nature of CP violation. For LHCb, we will discover rare two body B decays, search for CP violation in charm and make precison measurements of CP violaton in the Bs sector with early data samples. In the longer term we will measure the CKM angle gamma from loop-mediated processes which offer significant new physics sensitivity.We continue to invest in and promote a world-class Detector Development activity to enable longer-term initiatives and our Grid strength is aimed at maximising our impact in LHC physics as well as promoting new areas such as NA62 and the linear collider. We additionally lever support through Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and the College in these areas. We have set up physics analysis streams for ATLAS and LHCb, using the Grid, and will continue to fully exploit the 2011-12 LHC data. We will also maintain our involvement in longer-term initiatives where we have leadership roles. We presently participate in the LHCb upgrade, the ATLAS-FP initiative, the super-LHC intensity upgrades and future neutrino initiatives. We anticipate greater involvement in work, contingent upon discoveries made at the LHC. Over the next three years we will develop these areas and progress those where early investment will become most productive, consistent with the highest priority of LHC physics exploitation.To enhance the priority programme, we will gain through the second phase of SUPA. This will ensure that we can meet our priorities in silicon detector development via substantial funding in support of the LHC upgrade programme, known as SUPA-LHC. We anticipate investing £800k in equipment, shared equally with the IGR where we gain from joint facilities. This strategy is well suited to the skills and capacity of our core group. We believe the associated additional effort will be essential at a critical point in the evolution of UK particle physics.

在LHC上即将发现希格斯的可能性和新的能源边界的开放，作为升级计划的一部分，这三年的时间表尤其令人兴奋：我们将精力集中在HIGGS分析，发现和解释上，以及在CP违规和罕见BES中寻找新的物理学。改进的分析技术，经过良好校准的检测器，增加的计算能力和理论输入将是必不可少的，我们处于这些领域所需发展的最前沿。所有学者都参与了LHC计划，我们的策略是基于这些实验的两个实验以及CDF的培训来产生两个实验（ATLAS和LHCB）的领先物理学成果。我们将根据我们当前的专业知识来及时在HIGGS限制设置和发现中的发现。在CDF上确保了高质量的完成，我们在HIGGS分析中设定了较早的限制，我们将确保这种经验将在未来的Atlas Publication支撑下。根据我们较早的工作，我们将成为回答有关质量起源和违反CP的性质的问题的关键参与者。对于LHCB，我们将发现罕见的两个身体B衰减，以魅力搜索CP违规，并通过早期数据样本对BS部门进行CP违规的精确度量。从长远来看，我们将通过循环介导的过程来衡量CKM角γ，这些过程具有重要的新物理敏感性。我们继续投资并促进世界一流的探测器发展活动，以实现长期的计划，而我们的网格强度旨在最大程度地提高我们在LHC物理学中的影响，并促进NA62和Linear Collider等新领域。我们还通过苏格兰资助委员会（SFC）和这些地区的大学提供支持。我们已经使用网格设置了Atlas和LHCB的物理分析流，并将继续充分探索2011 - 12年度LHC数据。我们还将保持参与我们担任领导角色的长期计划。我们目前参加了LHCB升级，ATLAS-FP计划，Super-LHC强度升级和未来的中性计划。我们预计会有更大的参与工作，取决于LHC的发现。在接下来的三年中，我们将开发这些领域，并进步那些早期投资将变得最有生产力，符合LHC物理利用的最高优先级的领域。为了增强优先计划，我们将通过SUPA的第二阶段获得。这将确保我们可以通过大量资金来支持LHC升级计划（称为SUPA-LHC），以达到硅探测器开发的优先事项。我们预计将投资80万英镑的设备，与我们从联合设施中获得的IGR平均分享。该策略非常适合我们核心小组的技能和能力。我们认为，在英国粒子物理发展的关键点，相关的额外努力将是必不可少的。
