This grant supports particle physics data analysis from the Compact Muon Solenoid general purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider CERN and the maintainance and operation of the Electromagneitc Calorimeter and the Silicon Tracker. It also provides support for work aimed at developing new techniques for the construction of megatonne detectors for neutrinos. Exploiting the recently 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 top-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. Other STFC funded 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) detectors. New techniques for building such detectors are also funded in part by this grant. Studying in detail the properties of neutrinos will illuminate the matter/anti-matter asymmetry of our universe.

这笔赠款支持大型强子对撞机CERN的紧凑型Muon螺线管通用探测器的粒子物理数据分析，以及电磁量热仪和硅跟踪器的维护和操作。它还为旨在开发建造百万吨中微子探测器的新技术的工作提供支持。利用最近在大型强子对撞机上投入使用的紧凑型Muon螺线管探测器，将极大地增强对粒子物理，特别是在顶夸克物理领域的“标准模型”的理解，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。STFC资助的其他实验工作是产生窄的µ子束，这是建立这些粒子束的关键先驱，这些粒子束将通过它们在飞行中的衰变，提供将在大型(百万吨)探测器中探测到的强中微子束。建造这种探测器的新技术也部分由这笔赠款提供资金。详细研究中微子的性质将阐明我们宇宙中物质/反物质的不对称性。
