Particle physics, the quest to understand matter, forces and mass generation at the most fundamental level, is never far from the news, particularly the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its discovery of the Higgs boson. Our group has a balanced programme, exploiting the full reach of the LHC in energy and precision (ATLAS, LHCb), as well as other aspects of the unique capabilities of the CERN accelerator complex (NA62). One part of this proposal is to renew our computing capabilities in order to continue to enable the highest quality of analysis of the large volumes of data that these experiments produce, as they continue to operate for a further two decades as the world's premier energy frontier facility. It will also place us well to become involved in large scale data analysis of new experiments. Birmingham University has recently invested heavily in setting up a new suite of clean rooms, the Birmingham Instrumentation Laboratory for Particle Physics and Applications (BILPA), which has transformed our group's capability for large-scale construction and R&D in the area of precision silicon tracking detectors. One major project for the BILPA is to make major contributions to the very large-scale upgrades to the ATLAS detector that are required in order to cope with the unprecedented event rates and radiation environments. In an upgrade to the innermost charged particle tracking detector, we will be constructing intricate `silicon strip' detector modules, requiring around 8000 ultrasonic wire bonds per day. The BILPA also has an extensive R&D programme into detector technologies, both for future experiments and for technology transfer, for example into Medical Physics. In the latter context, we our building detectors for real-time imaging at proton radiotherapy centres. This proposal includes a request for three essential items of equipment that the BILPA requires in order to carry out all of these activities efficiently and to a high standard.

粒子物理学是在最基本的水平上理解物质，力量和质量产生的追求，尤其是新闻，尤其是CERN大型强子对撞机（LHC）及其发现Higgs Boson的新闻。我们的小组有一个平衡的程序，利用了LHC在能量和精度方面的全部范围（ATLAS，LHCB），以及CERN Accelerator Complex（NA62）独特功能的其他方面。该提案的一部分是更新我们的计算能力，以便继续对这些实验产生的大量数据进行最高质量的分析，因为它们继续作为世界首要的能源边界设施继续运行二十年。这也将使我们很好地参与新实验的大规模数据分析。伯明翰大学最近投入了大量投资，用于建立一套新的清洁室，伯明翰的粒子物理和应用仪器实验室（BILPA），该实验室（BILPA）改变了我们小组在Precision Silicon Trackectors of Precision Silicon Tracktors of Precision silling toctors of大规模建筑和研发的能力。 BILPA的一个主要项目是为了应对前所未有的事件率和辐射环境，为ATLAS检测器的非常大规模的升级做出了重大贡献。为了升级到最终带电的粒子跟踪探测器，我们将构建复杂的“硅条”检测器模块，每天需要约8000个超声波电线键。 BILPA还针对检测器技术进行了广泛的研发计划，包括未来的实验和技术转移，例如进入医学物理学。在后一种情况下，我们在质子放射疗法中心进行实时成像的建筑检测器。该提案包括对Bilpa需要的三种基本设备的要求，以便有效地进行所有这些活动。
