Exploitation of the CMS experiment at the LHC, construction of MICE phase 2 and R&D for large-scale neutrino detectors.

该基金支持欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）大型强子对撞机（Large Hadron Collider）的粒子物理学研究活动，用于评估μ子光束准直技术的光束线的构建和测试，以及旨在开发用于构建兆吨中微子探测器的新技术的工作。利用LHC新投入使用的紧凑型μ子螺线管探测器将极大地增强对粒子物理“标准模型”的理解，特别是在重夸克物理领域，寻找尚未发现的规范玻色子和超对称粒子，并最终揭示与质量起源有关的神秘的“希格斯”玻色子。产生窄μ子束的实验工作是建立这些粒子的强光束的必要前提，这些粒子将通过它们在飞行中的衰变来提供在大型（百万吨）探测器系统中检测到的强中微子束。详细研究中微子的性质将阐明我们宇宙的物质/反物质不对称性。

This grant supports research activities in particle physics at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN, the construction and testing of a beamline to evaluate a technique for the collimation of a muon beam, and work aimed at developing new techniques for the construction of megatonne detectors for neutrinos. Exploiting the newly commissioned Compact Muon Solenoid detector at the LHC will bring greatly enhanced understanding of the 'Standard Model' of particle physics, particularly in the area of heavy-quark physics, searching for as yet undiscovered gauge bosons and supersymmetric particles, and ultimately shedding light on the mysterious 'Higgs' boson which is connected with the origins of mass. The experimental work on to producing a narrow beam of muons is an essential precursor to building intense beams of these particles which will be used, by their decay in flight, to provide intense beams of neutrinos to be detected in large (million tonne) detector systems. Studying in detail the properties of neutrinos will illuminate the matter/anti-matter asymmetry of our universe.
