The successful interpretation of data from modern high energy physics experiments is a complex process. It involves not only the actual measurement of data points but also the input of a variety of theoretical or phenomenological models and processes which invariably rely heavily on numerous other data measurements for their tuning and refinement. New theoretical ideas lead to predictions that can be tested experimentally, and new experimental findings challenge theorists to produce better ideas. The HEPDATA project at the centre of this proposal serves to facilitate the data input provision to this process. At the same time, the Institute of Particle Physics Phenomenology (IPPP) in Durham, with its wide-ranging expertise in phenomenology and a strong base in particle theory, is ideally suited to be the host of this project.The Data Curation aspect of the HEPDATA project will continue to compile HEP experimental scattering data and associated bibliographic information from particle physics experiments around the world. All the content on HEPDATA is freely available and easily accessible to the entire physics community, thereby promoting the data to a wide audience. In addition HEPDATA will continue its links with the SLAC/SPIRES database project, hosting its UK mirror and engaging with its replacement database Inspire, providing mirroring facilities in the long-term. The Berkeley Particle Data Group UK mirror web pages will also continue to be hosted by the project. HEPDATA will also continue to provide a server for Parton Distribution Function (PDF) codes and continue to develop and maintain the LHAPDF library of PDF functions which are used in a large part of present and future analyses including at the LHC.

对现代高能物理实验数据的成功解释是一个复杂的过程。它不仅涉及数据点的实际测量，还涉及各种理论或现象学模型和过程的输入，这些模型和过程总是严重依赖大量其他数据测量来进行调整和细化。新的理论想法带来了可以通过实验检验的预测，而新的实验结果则挑战理论家提出更好的想法。该提案的核心 HEPDATA 项目旨在促进为此流程提供数据输入。与此同时，位于达勒姆的粒子物理现象学研究所（IPPP）凭借其广泛的现象学专业知识和强大的粒子理论基础，非常适合成为该项目的主办方。HEPDATA项目的数据管理方面将继续编译HEP实验散射数据以及来自世界各地粒子物理实验的相关书目信息。 HEPDATA 上的所有内容都是免费提供的，并且整个物理学界都可以轻松访问，从而将数据推广给更广泛的受众。此外，HEPDATA 将继续与 SLAC/SPIRES 数据库项目建立联系，托管其 UK 镜像并与其替代数据库 Inspire 合作，提供长期镜像设施。英国伯克利粒子数据组镜像网页也将继续由该项目托管。 HEPDATA 还将继续为帕顿分布函数 (PDF) 代码提供服务器，并继续开发和维护 LHAPDF PDF 函数库，这些函数在当前和未来的大部分分析中使用，包括在 LHC 中。
