点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics provide a major contribution to the scientific and intellectual culture of the nation, as they address some of the most important questions in physical science. The nation's international standing will benefit greatly from participation in these quintessentially Big Science activities. High achieving students are very excited by the research questions addressed in this proposal, so it will add significantly to the pool of highly-trained young Australians. They emerge as general problem solvers and flexible thinkers of high calibre in addition to becoming experts in particular areas. The big fundamental questions to be considered are also of great fascination to the general public.
