The Sussex EPP group has leading involvement in experimental activities seeking to make extremely sensitive measurements that may answer key questions regarding the nature of matter versus antimatter and fundamental symmetries underlying the laws of physics. These measurements crucially rely on the development of equipment that can operate reliably for extended periods of time under extreme conditions, and with extreme requirements for low contamination levels. In this capital equipment grant we are requesting funds for a 3D printer capable of generating magnetic-contaminant-free components out of high performance engineering plastics suitable for high-vacuum applications and also potentially for low-radioactivity background measurements. We also seek funds for an environmental chamber capable of stress testing electronics equipment in a range of temperatures and humidity levels before it is deployed in challenging environments that are difficult to access for repair or replacement. In addition, we are requesting funds to enhance our calibration and trigger system capabilities with FPGA technology.

Sussex EPP小组主要参与实验活动，寻求进行极其敏感的测量，这些测量可以回答有关物质与反物质的性质以及物理定律基础的基本对称性的关键问题。这些测量主要依赖于设备的开发，这些设备可以在极端条件下长时间可靠地运行，并具有对低污染水平的极端要求。在这项资本设备补助金中，我们正在申请3D打印机的资金，该打印机能够用高性能工程塑料生产无磁性污染物的组件，适用于高真空应用，也可能用于低放射性背景测量。我们还寻求资金用于环境室，该环境室能够在一系列温度和湿度水平下对电子设备进行压力测试，然后将其部署在难以进行维修或更换的具有挑战性的环境中。此外，我们正在申请资金，以提高我们的校准和触发系统的能力与FPGA技术。
