This project will support physicists in the expected era of discovery in the knowledge of fundamental particles that makes up our Universe. Having participated in developing the giant $½ billion ATLAS experiment, Australian scientists will be making major discoveries in this era. ATLAS will hunt down the Higgs boson, to understand the origin of mass of fundamental particles. It will also search for particles to explain Dark Matter, which makes up 25% of our Universe. ATLAS will search for undiscovered laws of nature to help us unify our understanding of the forces of nature. Excellent training and enhhancement of public interest, international cooperation and networking, and national pride will be provided by this project.

该项目将为物理学家在预期的发现构成宇宙的基本粒子的知识的时代提供支持。澳大利亚科学家参与开发了耗资 50 亿美元的巨型 ATLAS 实验，将在这个时代取得重大发现。 ATLAS 将追寻希格斯玻色子，以了解基本粒子质量的起源。它还将寻找粒子来解释暗物质，暗物质占我们宇宙的 25%。 ATLAS 将寻找未被发现的自然法则，帮助我们统一对自然力量的理解。该项目将提供出色的培训和增强公共利益、国际合作和网络以及民族自豪感。
