Australian contribution to CERN large hadron collider experiment upgrade: The discovery of the Higgs Boson with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN laboratory's large hadron collider, has been a highlight for Australian science. Scientists will build upon the foundation of the Higgs discovery to further probe the nature of matter at the finest scales and highest energies. Detailed measurements of the Higgs characteristics will determine if it is as predicted by the Standard Model or whether it admits a variation, signalling new physics. The upgrade in this project will provide for such detailed measurements. It will also allow sensitive probes of new physics, searching for new particles or unexpected interactions.

澳大利亚对CERN大型强子对撞机实验升级的贡献：在CERN实验室的大型强子对撞机上通过ATLAS实验发现希格斯玻色子，一直是澳大利亚科学界的一大亮点。科学家们将在希格斯发现的基础上，以最精细的尺度和最高的能量进一步探索物质的本质。对希格斯特性的详细测量将决定它是否如标准模型所预测的那样，或者它是否承认了一种变化，表明了新的物理学。该项目的升级将提供这种详细的测量。它还将允许对新物理进行敏感探测，搜索新粒子或意想不到的相互作用。
