The three-year timescale is particularly exciting with the Higgs discovery at the LHC and the openingof a new energy frontier as part of the upgrade programme: we will focus our efforts on Higgs analysis, discovery and interpretation, and the search for new physics in CP violation and rare B decays. Improved analysis techniques, well-calibrated detectors, increased computing power and theoretical input will be essential and we are at the forefront of the required developments in these areas.All academics are heavily involved in the LHC programme and our strategy is to generate leading-edge physics results from two experiments (ATLAS and LHCb) based upon expertise developed in those experiments as well as from CDF. We will provide timely first results in the Higgs discovery area for ATLAS, based upon our current expertise. Having secured high-quality completion on CDF, where we set earlier limits in the Higgs analyses, we will ensure that this experience will underpin future ATLAS publications. Based on our earlier work, we will be key players in answering questions concerning the origin of mass and the nature of CP violation. For LHCb, we will discover rare two body B decays, search for CP violation in charm and make precison measurements of CP violaton in the Bs sector with early data samples.In the longer term we will measure the CKM angle gamma from loop-mediated processes which offer significant new physics sensitivity. We continue to invest in and promote a world-class Detector Development activity to enable longer-term initiatives and our Grid strength is aimed at maximising our impact in LHC physics as well as promoting new areas such as NA62 and the linear collider. We additionally lever support through Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and the College in these areas. We have set up physics analysis streams for ATLAS and LHCb, using the Grid, and will continue to fully exploit the 2011-12LHC data. We will also maintain our involvement in longer-term initiatives where we have leadership roles. We presently participate in the LHCb upgrade, the ATLAS-FP initiative, the super-LHC intensity upgrades, ILC and future neutrino initiatives. We anticipate greater involvement in work, based upon the discoveries made at the LHC. Over the next three years we will develop these areas and progress those where early investment will become most productive, consistent with the highest priority of LHC physics exploitation.To enhance the priority programme, we will gain through the second phase of SUPA. This will ensure that we can meet our priorities in silicon detector development via substantial funding in support of the LHC upgrade programme, known as SUPA-LHC. We have invested £800k in equipment, shared equally with the IGR where we gain from joint facilities. This strategy is well suited to the skills and capacity of our core group. We believe the associated additional effort will be essential at a critical point in the evolution of UK particle physics.

三年的时间尺度尤其令人兴奋，因为大型强子对撞机发现了希格斯粒子，并作为升级计划的一部分开辟了新的能源前沿：我们将集中精力进行希格斯粒子的分析、发现和解释，以及在CP破坏和罕见的B衰变中寻找新的物理学。改进的分析技术、经过良好校准的探测器、增强的计算能力和理论输入将至关重要，我们处于这些领域所需发展的最前沿。所有学者都大力参与 LHC 项目，我们的策略是根据两个实验（ATLAS 和 LHCb）以及 CDF 中开发的专业知识，从这些实验中产生前沿的物理结果。我们将根据我们目前的专业知识，及时为 ATLAS 提供希格斯粒子发现领域的初步结果。在确保 CDF 的高质量完成后，我们在希格斯分析中设定了早期的限制，我们将确保这一经验将为未来的 ATLAS 出版物奠定基础。基于我们早期的工作，我们将成为回答有关质量起源和 CP 破坏性质的问题的关键参与者。对于LHCb，我们将发现罕见的二体B衰变，寻找魅力中的CP破坏，并利用早期数据样本对Bs扇区的CP破坏进行精确测量。从长远来看，我们将测量来自环介导过程的CKM角伽马，这提供了重要的新物理灵敏度。我们继续投资和促进世界一流的探测器开发活动，以实现长期计划，我们的 Grid 优势旨在最大限度地发挥我们在大型强子对撞机物理领域的影响力，并促进 NA62 和线性对撞机等新领域的发展。我们还通过苏格兰资助委员会（SFC）和学院在这些领域提供支持。我们已经使用网格为 ATLAS 和 LHCb 建立了物理分析流，并将继续充分利用 2011-12LHC 数据。我们还将继续参与我们发挥领导作用的长期计划。我们目前正在参与大型强子对撞机升级、ATLAS-FP 计划、超级大型强子对撞机强度升级、ILC 和未来中微子计划。根据大型强子对撞机的发现，我们预计会更多地参与工作。在接下来的三年里，我们将开发这些领域，并推进那些早期投资将变得最有成效的领域，这与大型强子对撞机物理开发的最高优先级一致。为了加强优先计划，我们将通过 SUPA 的第二阶段获益。这将确保我们能够通过大量资金支持 LHC 升级计划（称为 SUPA-LHC）来满足硅探测器开发的优先事项。我们在设备上投资了 80 万英镑，与 IGR 平分，我们从联合设施中获益。该策略非常适合我们核心团队的技能和能力。我们相信，在英国粒子物理学发展的关键时刻，相关的额外努力将至关重要。
