After the Higgs boson discovery, the challenge of particle physics for the decades to come is precision: only precision will allow us to determine beyond doubt whether the Higgs boson particle that we have found is indeed that predicted by the commonly accepted theory of particle physics, or whether instead it is a portal to a new physics landscape. Precision Higgs boson physics calls for precision measurement tools. One of the most challenging measurements in a particle physics collision event is that of the energy released by particles interacting through nuclear reactions with the particle detector matter. An innovative "dual readout" particle detector concept aims at dramatical improve the precision of this measurement. Thanks to this grant, the Experimental Particle Physics group at the University of Sussex will be able to set up a laboratory to be part of these exciting quests.
