High energy particle physics studies the most fundamental constituents of matter. This microscopic frontier requires the highest energy and highest intensity particle accelerators. Through the Big Bang Model, high energy physics also sheds light on the development of the very early Universe. It is thus crucial for the understanding of nature at the very largest of scales as well as the very smallest. The ATLAS and Belle experiments probe two of the most significant questions in fundamental physics: what is the origin of mass, and why do we live in a universe composed of matter rather than antimatter? This proposal seeks support to maintain access to the international high energy physics program in Europe and Japan.

高能粒子物理学研究物质的最基本成分。这个微观前沿需要最高能量和最高强度的粒子加速器。通过大爆炸模型，高能物理学也揭示了早期宇宙的发展。因此，无论是在最宏观的尺度上还是在最微观的尺度上，它对理解自然都是至关重要的。ATLAS和Belle实验探索了基础物理学中两个最重要的问题：质量的起源是什么？为什么我们生活在一个由物质而不是反物质组成的宇宙中？本提案寻求支持，以保持进入欧洲和日本的国际高能物理计划。
