Australian Contribution to CERN Large Hadron Collider Experiment Upgrade

澳大利亚对欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机实验升级的贡献：在欧洲核子研究中心实验室的大型强子对撞机上进行的ATLAS实验发现了希格斯玻色子，这是澳大利亚科学的一个亮点。科学家们将在希格斯发现的基础上，进一步探索最精细尺度和最高能量下的物质本质。对希格斯粒子特性的详细测量将决定它是否如标准模型所预测的那样，或者它是否允许变化，从而标志着新的物理学。本项目的升级将提供这种详细的测量。它还将允许新物理学的敏感探测器，寻找新的粒子或意想不到的相互作用。

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.
