项目摘要

The Cambridge High Energy Physics Group focuses its research activities on experiments at high-energy accelerators, currently the Large Hadron Collider and the ATLAS and LHCb experiments at CERN, the neutrino experiment MicroBooNE, and the long-baseline neutrino experiment DUNE at Fermilab, and future collider facilities. The goal is to understand the fundamental particles of nature and their interactions, in particular, to discover physics beyond our current understanding, to understand why the Universe is made only of matter and not antimatter and to reveal the identity of dark matter. The Group is also central to the multi-disciplinary Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics projects, AION and MAGIS, which use novel atom interferometry to detect and identify sources of dark matter and gravitational waves in the Universe.This grant will enable the group to fully exploit the physics of the LHC, to deliver our commitments to the current upgrades of the ATLAS and LHCb experiments, to prepare for the future upgrades of ATLAS and LHCb, to consolidate our strong participation in our neutrino programme, to deliver our commitments and exploit the first physics from the AION project and MAGIS experiment, and to undertake generic hardware research and development. The opportunities offered by this exciting physics programme will not only drive the forefront of discovery, but also provide substantial impact to local enterprises and on public engagement.

剑桥高能物理组的研究活动主要集中在高能加速器实验上，目前包括欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机、ATLAS 和 LHCb 实验、中微子实验 MicroBooNE、费米实验室的长基线中微子实验 DUNE，以及未来的中微子实验。对撞机设施。其目标是了解自然的基本粒子及其相互作用，特别是发现超出我们当前理解的物理学，了解为什么宇宙仅由物质而不是反物质组成，并揭示暗物质的身份。该小组也是基础物理项目 AION 和 MAGIS 的多学科量子技术的核心，这些项目使用新颖的原子干涉测量法来探测和识别宇宙中暗物质和引力波的来源。这笔赠款将使该小组能够充分利用大型强子对撞机的物理学，兑现我们对当前 ATLAS 和 LHCb 实验升级的承诺，为 ATLAS 和 LHCb 未来的升级做好准备，巩固我们对 ATLAS 和 LHCb 实验的大力参与中微子计划，履行我们的承诺并利用 AION 项目和 MAGIS 实验中的第一个物理学，并进行通用硬件研究和开发。这个令人兴奋的物理项目提供的机会不仅将推动发现的前沿，而且还将对当地企业和公众参与产生重大影响。
