Particle physics, the study of the fundamental building blocks of matter, has pioneered the use of large collaborations --- hundreds of scientists working in dozens of countries --- to solve difficult research problems. Australian groups have contributed to several such experiments, studying cosmic rays, neutrinos, and broken symmetries, as well as developing ATLAS, a vast experiment dedicated to understanding the origin of mass. This project seeks to use ATLAS for a new purpose: searching for exotic mesons. Our existing commitment to ATLAS provides an opportunity to develop this as a new avenue of fundamental research in this country.

粒子物理学是对物质基本组成部分的研究，它开创了利用大型合作（数百名科学家在数十个国家工作）来解决困难的研究问题。 澳大利亚的研究小组为多项此类实验做出了贡献，研究宇宙射线、中微子和对称性破缺，并开发了 ATLAS，这是一项致力于了解质量起源的大型实验。该项目旨在将 ATLAS 用于新目的：寻找奇异介子。我们对 ATLAS 的现有承诺提供了将其发展为该国基础研究新途径的机会。
