The four-year timescale is particularly exciting with the exploitation of the LHC and upgrade developments reaching a peak.We will focus our efforts in the Higgs and top sectors for ATLAS, in the kaon sector for NA62, and in the charm and beautysector for LHCb, including searches for BSM processes in each case. We are simultaneously entering a major constructionphase which will require significant effort, building upon the synergies established between our ATLAS, LHCb and LinearCollider detector developments. We anticipate a significant transition in the neutrino sector. We finalised data taking inMICE, with a demonstration of ionization cooling imminent, and we have joined the T2K collaboration, contributing to itsnear detector upgrade through the WAGASCI/BabyMind detectors, as a major step towards future neutrino developments.With the international community, we will contribute to the leadership needed to establish a future Linear Collider at a keypoint in the European decision-making process. We have developed detector development and construction capacity tocontribute to this programme and have built up our technician and engineering effort in a carefully planned approach.Improved analysis techniques, well-calibrated detectors, increased computing power and theoretical input will be essentialand we are at the forefront of the required developments in these areas.All academics are heavily involved in the CERN programme and our strategy is to generate leading-edge physics resultsfrom ATLAS, LHCb and NA62 based upon expertise developed in those experiments. Having secured high-qualitycompletion in Run 1 and provided timely first Run-2 results in Higgs H->bb modes and top production for ATLAS, we willensure that this experience will underpin future ATLAS publications. Based on our earlier work, we will be key players inanswering questions concerning the origin of mass and the nature of CP violation. For LHCb, we will measure the CKMangle gamma from loop and tree dominated B decays, search for CP violation and measure mixing parameters in charmdecays. We will explore the spectrum of doubly-charmed baryons and measure the properties of the discovered states. ForNA62 we will maintain UK expertise and will lead the analysis of the K->pi,nu,nu channel.We continue to invest in and promote a world-class Detector Development activity to enable longer-term initiatives and ourGrid strength is aimed at maximising our impact in LHC physics as well as promoting new areas such as the linear collider.We additionally lever significant support through the College in these areas. We have set up physics analysis streams foreach experiment, using the Grid, and will continue to fully exploit the LHC Run 2 data. We will also maintain ourinvolvement in longer-term initiatives where we have leadership roles. We presently have leading roles in the ATLAS andLHCb upgrades, the linear collider and future neutrino initiatives. We anticipate greater involvement in these forwardlookingprogrammes, based upon discoveries made at the LHC. Over the next four years we will develop these areas andprogress those where early investment will become most productive, consistent with our highest priority of LHC physicsexploitation.To enhance the priority programme, we have invested in generic detector developments leading to significant impact insensors technologies. This has ensured that we can retain expertise in order to meet our priorities in silicon detectordevelopment via support of the LHC upgrade and other programmes. We anticipate working with the IGR and JWNCgroups where we gain from joint facilities. This strategy is well suited to the skills and capacity of our core group. Theassociated responsive effort will be essential at a critical point in the evolution of UK particle physics.

随着LHC的开发和升级发展达到顶峰，四年的时间尺度尤其令人兴奋。我们将把精力集中在ATLAS的希格斯和顶级部门、NA62的kaon部门以及LHCb的魅力和美容部门，包括在每种情况下搜索 BSM 进程。我们同时进入了一个主要的建设阶段，这需要付出巨大的努力，建立在我们的 ATLAS、LHCb 和 LinearCollider 探测器开发之间建立的协同作用之上。我们预计中微子领域将发生重大转变。我们完成了 MICE 中的数据采集，即将演示电离冷却，并且我们已加入 T2K 合作，通过 WAGASCI/BabyMind 探测器为其近探测器升级做出贡献，这是迈向未来中微子发展的重要一步。与国际社会一起，我们将在欧洲决策过程的关键点上为建立未来直线对撞机所需的领导力做出贡献。我们已经开发了探测器开发和建设能力来为该计划做出贡献，并通过精心计划的方法建立了我们的技术人员和工程工作。改进的分析技术、良好校准的探测器、增强的计算能力和理论输入将是至关重要的，我们处于最前沿所有学者都积极参与 CERN 计划，我们的策略是根据这些实验中开发的专业知识，从 ATLAS、LHCb 和 NA62 中产生前沿的物理结果。在确保第一轮的高质量完成并及时提供希格斯 H->bb 模式下的第一轮第二轮结果以及 ATLAS 的顶级生产后，我们将确保这一经验将为未来的 ATLAS 出版物提供基础。基于我们早期的工作，我们将成为回答有关质量起源和 CP 破坏性质的问题的关键参与者。对于 LHCb，我们将从循环和树主导的 B 衰变中测量 CKMangle gamma，搜索 CP 违规并测量 charmdecays 中的混合参数。我们将探索双魅力重子的光谱并测量所发现的状态的特性。对于 NA62，我们将保持英国的专业知识，并将领导 K->pi、nu、nu 通道的分析。我们继续投资和促进世界一流的探测器开发活动，以实现长期计划，我们的网格实力旨在最大化我们对大型强子对撞机物理的影响以及促进线性对撞机等新领域的发展。我们还通过学院在这些领域提供大力支持。我们已经使用网格为每个实验建立了物理分析流，并将继续充分利用 LHC Run 2 数据。我们还将继续参与我们发挥领导作用的长期计划。目前，我们在 ATLAS 和 LHCb 升级、线性对撞机和未来中微子计划方面发挥着主导作用。根据大型强子对撞机的发现，我们预计会更多地参与这些前瞻性计划。在接下来的四年里，我们将开发这些领域，并推进那些早期投资将变得最有成效的领域，这与我们大型强子对撞机物理开发的最高优先级一致。为了加强优先计划，我们投资了通用探测器开发，从而对传感器技术产生重大影响。这确保了我们能够保留专业知识，以便通过支持大型强子对撞机升级和其他计划来满足我们在硅探测器开发方面的优先事项。我们期待与 IGR 和 JWNCgroups 合作，从联合设施中获益。该策略非常适合我们核心团队的技能和能力。在英国粒子物理学发展的关键时刻，相关的响应努力将至关重要。
