Vacuum is not just the absence of matter: it is the lowest-energy state of our Universe. This project aims to investigate the existence of new particles via their impacts upon the vacuum of the Universe. It expects to develop methods required to extract information on the existence of new particles from the vacuum, using transitions between different vacua, resulting gravitational waves, and results from a broad range of other complementary experiments. Expected outcomes include comprehensive tests of four of the most compelling theoretical frameworks for new particles. Significant expected benefits include advanced training for Australian students in numerical methods, software development, statistical analysis and research computing.

真空不仅仅是物质的不存在：它是我们宇宙中能量最低的状态。该项目旨在通过新粒子对宇宙真空的影响来研究它们的存在。 它希望开发出从真空中提取新粒子存在信息所需的方法，使用不同真空之间的转换，产生的引力波以及广泛的其他补充实验的结果。 预期成果包括对新粒子的四个最引人注目的理论框架进行全面测试。预期的重大惠益包括为澳大利亚学生提供数值方法、软件开发、统计分析和研究计算方面的高级培训。
