项目摘要

This application aims to rejuvenate the strategic partnership between Durham University and STFC in maintaining an internationally visible and impactful National Institute. This model has been successful and has been emulated in institutions in Pittsburgh and Odense. We propose that IPPP's Core contains the service commitments that are mission-critical to the National Centre for UK's wider particle physics community. To deliver on our strategic objectives as a National Centre, we bid to extend funding for IPPP's Core to a 5-year cycle. Further, we propose the following as core tasks of the IPPP, the National Centre for Particle Phenomenology and Research Institute at Durham University:Provide theory support for particle physics experiments: With its critical mass of internationally recognised experts in particle phenomenology, the IPPP provides services for the community and cutting edge advice on the interpretation and qual- ity control of experimental measurements. This includes the open-source provision and maintenance of software and calculations in support of the research goals of the experimental and theoretical research community. The currently supported research areas are collider, neutrino and flavour physics, but the required support will evolve as the UK experimental programme changes;Support for preservation and open-access availability of high-level experimental data: The IPPP will provide user support, software development and managerial over- sight for HEPData. HEPData is the primary repository for publication-related data from particle physics experiments. It is a significant element in fulfilling the STFC and UKRI policies for the management and sharing scientific data and thus provides a solution to modern data management concerns;Initiation, organisation and maintenance of workshops, conferences and a post- graduate school programme in collaboration with the UK's particle phenomenol- ogy community: The IPPP will act as a coordinator for a broad range of workshop and conference programmes. Due to its several decades-long expertise as a National Cen- tre and its international recognition, it is ideally placed to provide a cost-effective venue and support in selecting topics and speakers for an outcome-oriented scientific pro- gramme. To ensure comprehensive coverage of all areas of particle physics, the IPPP currently organises 15 workshops and conferences of varying sizes per year. These meetings play a crucial role in disseminating the latest developments to the UK commu- nity and enabling UK scientists to play a more prominent role on the international stage. Presently organised conferences, workshops and schools include the Annual Theory Meeting (ATM), the Young Experimentalists and Theorists Institute (YETI), the Young Theorists Forum (YTF), the UK HEP Forum and the annual Higgs-Maxwell Meeting. These meetings attract outstanding speakers and lecturers, which provides prestige to the University and presents unique learning opportunities for Durham's students;Engagement with the particle physics community in the UK and worldwide: The IPPP is internationally recognised as a National Centre and is often the first point of contact for international scientists within the UK. It currently supports a vibrant Associ- ateship and Senior Experimental Fellowship programme, strengthening the collabora- tion between the IPPP and all particle physics groups in the UK (theory or experiment) and allowing other groups to access IPPP's scientific expertise. Further, the IPPP sup- ports the DIVA programme, which provides an attractive opportunity for internationally recognised scientists to conduct long-term visits to the UK's particle physics groups. This extensive set of programs facilitates close collaboration between the IPPP and the larger UK particle physics community.

该申请旨在重振杜伦大学和 STFC 之间的战略合作伙伴关系，以维持一个国际知名度和影响力的国家研究所。这一模式取得了成功，并在匹兹堡和欧登塞的机构中得到效仿。我们建议 IPPP 的核心包含对英国国家中心更广泛的粒子物理界至关重要的服务承诺。为了实现我们作为国家中心的战略目标，我们力争将 IPPP 核心的资助期限延长至 5 年周期。此外，我们建议杜伦大学国家粒子现象学中心和研究所IPPP的核心任务如下：为粒子物理实验提供理论支持： IPPP拥有国际公认的粒子现象学专家群，提供服务为社区提供关于实验测量的解释和质量控制的前沿建议。这包括软件和计算的开源提供和维护，以支持实验和理论研究社区的研究目标。目前支持的研究领域是对撞机、中微子和味道物理，但所需的支持将随着英国实验计划的变化而变化；支持高水平实验数据的保存和开放获取：IPPP将提供用户支持、软件开发以及对 HEPData 的管理监督。 HEPData 是粒子物理实验中与出版相关的数据的主要存储库。它是履行 STFC 和 UKRI 管理和共享科学数据政策的重要组成部分，从而为现代数据管理问题提供了解决方案；与英国粒子现象学界：IPPP 将充当广泛的研讨会和会议项目的协调员。由于其作为国家中心数十年的专业知识及其国际认可度，它非常适合为以结果为导向的科学计划选择主题和演讲者提供具有成本效益的场所和支持。为了确保全面覆盖粒子物理的所有领域，IPPP 目前每年组织 15 场不同规模的研讨会和会议。这些会议在向英国社会传播最新进展以及使英国科学家在国际舞台上发挥更加突出的作用方面发挥着至关重要的作用。目前组织的会议、研讨会和学校包括年度理论会议 (ATM)、青年实验家和理论家研究所 (YETI)、青年理论家论坛 (YTF)、英国 HEP 论坛和年度希格斯-麦克斯韦会议。这些会议吸引了杰出的演讲者和讲师，这为大学提供了声望，并为杜伦大学的学生提供了独特的学习机会；与英国和世界各地的粒子物理学界的接触：IPPP 是国际公认的国家中心，通常是第一点英国境内国际科学家的联系方式。目前，它支持一个充满活力的副研究员和高级实验奖学金计划，加强IPPP和英国所有粒子物理团体（理论或实验）之间的合作，并允许其他团体获得IPPP的科学专业知识。此外，IPPP还支持DIVA计划，该计划为国际公认的科学家提供了对英国粒子物理小组进行长期访问的有吸引力的机会。这套广泛的计划促进了 IPPP 和更大的英国粒子物理学界之间的密切合作。
