Neutrinos are the least understood of the known fundamental particles, yet they hold the key to some of the most important open questions in physics and astrophysics. This project aims create new knowledge, which is needed now, using existing and imminent atmospheric neutrino data. It will pave the way to better understand the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe, supernovae, and dark matter. The expected outcomes include significant advances at the forefront of modern science, which will contribute to the development of a world class research capacity in Australia. Significant benefits include high level training of students and early career researchers, contributing to a highly skilled STEM workforce.

在已知的基本粒子中，人们对中微子的了解最少，但它们掌握着物理学和天体物理学中一些最重要的开放性问题的关键。该项目旨在利用现有的和即将到来的大气中微子数据创造新的知识，这是现在需要的。它将为更好地理解宇宙、超新星和暗物质的物质-反物质不对称的起源铺平道路。预期的成果包括在现代科学的前沿取得重大进展，这将有助于澳大利亚发展世界一流的研究能力。显著的好处包括对学生和早期职业研究人员的高水平培训，有助于培养高技能的STEM劳动力。
