The Particle Physics Group at the University of Manchester studies fundamental particles and their interactions with experiments based at major international research centres. This research is performed in international collaborations and covers all aspects of experimental particle physics: the development of novel detector concepts, the design, construction and operation of large experiments and the analysis of the data.The Manchester Particle Physics Group plays a leading role on two of the main experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which produces proton-proton collisions at the highest energies currently accessible in accelerators. On the ATLAS and LHCb experiments, we test the Standard Model of Particle Physics with unprecedented precision and search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. These studies include measurements of the properties of the strong and electroweak interactions and the search for new particles, such as Higgs bosons or heavy neutrinos. Another focus of our research at ATLAS is the study of the properties of the heaviest of all known quarks, the top quark, where the Manchester Particle Physics Group has many years of experience from working on the D0 experiment at the Tevatron accelerator in Chicago. The LHCb experiment is designed to study the properties of particles that are built from the heavier bottom and charm quarks. Detailed studies of their production and decays provide a window to new physics and allow us to study fundamental questions such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. We are also active on preparing future improvements to both the ATLAS and LHCb experiments.Understanding the properties of the elusive neutrino is another priority of our research programme. With the NEMO-3 and SuperNEMO detectors, located in the Modane Underground Laboratory, we search for neutrinoless double beta decay, a process that has never been observed before. Its observation would indicate that neutrinos are their own antiparticles and it will provide a measurement of the neutrino mass. A different kind of experiment, MINOS, studies the oscillation between different types of neutrinos by detecting them over a long distance between Fermilab in Chicago and a mine in Minnesota. Involvement in future new neutrino experiments (PINGU/LBNE) and the COMET/PRISM project, that will look for similar transformations between muons and electrons, are also proposed. Modern Particle Physics experiments contain sophisticated technology to detect particles. The Manchester Group leads an extensive reasearch programme on developing novel detection devices, such as 3-dimensional silicon detectors or diamond detectors. These novel technologies have many potential applications beyond Particle Physics research in areas such as medical physics or security applications. Finally, through our outreach programme, we communicate the results of our research to the public through television and radio programmes,

曼彻斯特大学的粒子物理小组研究基本粒子及其与主要国际研究中心实验的相互作用。这项研究是在国际合作中进行的，涵盖了实验粒子物理学的各个方面：新探测器概念的开发，大型实验的设计，建造和操作以及数据分析。曼彻斯特粒子物理组在CERN大型强子对撞机（LHC）的两个主要实验中发挥着主导作用，其在加速器中目前可获得的最高能量下产生质子-质子碰撞。在ATLAS和LHCb实验中，我们以前所未有的精度测试粒子物理学的标准模型，并寻找超越标准模型的新物理。这些研究包括测量强相互作用和电弱相互作用的性质，以及寻找新粒子，如希格斯玻色子或重中微子。我们在ATLAS研究的另一个重点是研究所有已知夸克中最重的夸克--顶夸克的性质，曼彻斯特粒子物理小组在芝加哥的Tevatron加速器上进行D 0实验时有多年的经验。LHCb实验旨在研究由较重的底夸克和粲夸克构建的粒子的性质。对它们的产生和衰变的详细研究为新物理学提供了一个窗口，并使我们能够研究诸如宇宙中的物质-反物质不对称性等基本问题。我们还积极准备未来改进ATLAS和LHCb实验。了解难以捉摸的中微子的性质是我们研究计划的另一个优先事项。使用位于Modane地下实验室的NEMO-3和SuperNEMO探测器，我们寻找无中微子双β衰变，这是一个以前从未观察到的过程。它的观测将表明中微子是它们自己的反粒子，它将提供中微子质量的测量。另一种实验MINOS通过在芝加哥的费米实验室和明尼苏达州的一个矿井之间的长距离探测不同类型的中微子来研究它们之间的振荡。参与未来的新中微子实验（PINGU/LBNE）和彗星/棱镜项目，将寻找类似的转换之间的μ子和电子，也提出了建议。现代粒子物理学实验包含检测粒子的复杂技术。曼彻斯特集团领导了一项广泛的再研究计划，开发新型探测设备，如三维硅探测器或钻石探测器。这些新技术在粒子物理学研究之外，在医学物理学或安全应用等领域有许多潜在的应用。最后，通过我们的外展计划，我们通过电视和电台节目向公众传达我们的研究结果，
