After the Higgs boson discovery, the challenge of particle physics for the decades to come is precision: only precision will allow us to determine beyond doubt whether the Higgs boson particle that we have found is indeed that predicted by the commonly accepted theory of particle physics, or whether instead it is a portal to a new physics landscape. Precision Higgs boson physics calls for precision measurement tools. One of the most challenging measurements in a particle physics collision event is that of the energy released by particles interacting through nuclear reactions with the particle detector matter. An innovative "dual readout" particle detector concept aims at dramatical improve the precision of this measurement. Thanks to this grant, the Experimental Particle Physics group at the University of Sussex will be able to set up a laboratory to be part of these exciting quests.

在希格斯玻色子发现之后，几十年来粒子物理的挑战是精度：只有精度才能使我们毫无疑问地确定我们发现的希格斯玻色子粒子是否确实是粒子物理学的普遍接受理论所预测的，还是它是新物理学的门户。精密希格斯玻色子物理学要求精确测量工具。粒子物理碰撞事件中最具挑战性的测量之一是通过核反应与粒子探测器物质相互作用的颗粒释放的能量。创新的“双重读数”粒子探测器概念旨在彻底提高该测量的精度。多亏了这笔赠款，苏塞克斯大学的实验粒子物理小组将能够建立一个实验室，成为这些令人兴奋的任务的一部分。
