New Tests of Fundamental Physics & Astrophysics with Atmospheric Neutrinos

中微子是已知的基本粒子中最不为人所知的，但它们掌握着物理学和天体物理学中一些最重要的开放问题的关键。该项目旨在利用现有和即将到来的大气中微子数据，创造现在所需的新知识。它将为更好地理解物质的起源--宇宙反物质不对称性、超新星和暗物质--铺平道路。预期成果包括现代科学前沿的重大进展，这将有助于澳大利亚发展世界级的研究能力。显著的好处包括对学生和早期职业研究人员进行高水平的培训，造就一支高技能的STEM劳动力队伍。

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.
