The discovery of the Higgs boson at 126 GeV at CERN was a milestone for fundamental physics. However to date no other new discoveries have been made. This brings new urgency to the questions: what is the origin of Dark Matter? and why is there no large scale antimatter in the Universe? These questions require that new, as yet-undiscovered principles of nature exist. This project will search for these by investigating matter-antimatter asymmetries with unprecedented precision at the Belle II experiment, currently under construction in Japan. The project’s contribution to Belle II will be to develop software to rapidly and automatically calibrate and process the hundreds of petabytes of data generated by the experiment.

在CERN发现的126 GeV的希格斯玻色子是基础物理学的里程碑。但迄今为止，还没有其他新的发现。这给问题带来了新的紧迫性：暗物质的起源是什么？为什么宇宙中没有大规模的反物质？这些问题要求新的、尚未发现的自然原理存在。该项目将通过在目前正在日本建造的贝儿II实验中以前所未有的精度调查物质-反物质不对称性来寻找这些。该项目对贝儿II的贡献将是开发软件，以快速自动校准和处理实验产生的数百PB的数据。
