Our mission is to study fundamental particle interactions with matter, and from that learn about the subatomic nature of matter, and the broader implications of that research. This is the study of "Radiation for Science and Society", driven by the most important fundamental challenges in modern physics today.This grant proposal focuses on members of the Particle Physics Research Centre (PPRC) at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) exploring the fundamental nature of the Universe. This will be achieved through studies of the Higgs boson, neutrinos and precision measurements of Standard Model processes, as well as searches for manifestations of new physics, namely deviations from the Standard Model. These goals are aligned with the STFC strategic priorities and to achieve these goals we also work on instrument construction for the ATLAS Upgrade and the DUNE experiments, as well as performing research and development toward future colliders and generic technology development targeting future accelerator based experiments and future neutrino and dark matter experiments. On ATLAS we will perform precision Higgs measurements, searches for rare Higgs boson processes that could elucidate our understanding of cosmological evolution of the Universe. We will search for new physics including Dark Matter via the Dark Machines collaboration and via rare decay searches, including di-Higgs production. We will study the Standard Model through a variety of high energy processes and through studies of rare B decays.On the ATLAS upgrade we will work on the construction of the Inner Tracker Upgrade and the Level 1 Calorimeter trigger to ensure that UK MoU contributions are met and that the maximum physics yield is achievable from that project. Likewise on the DUNE experiment we will work toward the construction of the near detector to ensure that the UK MoU requirements are met and that the physics output from the UK investment is maximised.Our contribution to the NOvA neutrino experiment focuses on the measurement of cross section data that are crucial to determination of oscillation parameters in the neutrino sector, and ultimately linked to the search for matter-antimatter asymmetries in neutrinos that could be the answer to why we live in a matter dominated Universe. This experimental activity will lead us naturally into exploitation of the DUNE experiment once construction of that is completed.To enable maximum physics output from the STFC programme as a part of the global particle physics programme, the PPRC works on the development of underpinning detector technology for future experiments. Mature technologies are spun out into near term goals, such as ATLAS Upgrade and DUNE activities. For the longer term we identify barriers such as the need for low mass tracking systems, technology that can function in high fluence, ergo high radiation, environments, data acquisition for current and next generation experiments. We also focus on evaluating emerging and novel technology with the intent to overcome challenges or limitations of the existing technologies, looking beyond the current generation of instruments. For example ways to reduce neutron background in future dark-matter and neutrino experiments, and possible applications to other STFC experimental programmes. We actively engage in impact through both societal and economic routes. QMUL was founded to facilitate education and opportunity for the local community. Today outreach and public engagement, particularly with the local community, remains strong. QMUL holds a gold watermark for public engagement. Outreach activities are embedded into the core ethos of our programme as a result of both our historic roots as an organisation, and the strategic vision shown by QMUL for public engagement. We also strive to work with the commercial sector and other stakeholders for economic benefit to the UK, and actively pursue technology innovation, IP generation

我们的任务是研究基本粒子与物质的相互作用，并从中了解物质的亚原子性质，以及该研究的更广泛含义。这是“科学与社会的辐射”的研究，受到当今现代物理学中最重要的基本挑战的推动。这项拨款提案的重点是伦敦玛丽女王大学粒子物理研究中心（PPRC）的成员，他们正在探索宇宙的基本性质。这将通过研究希格斯玻色子、中微子和标准模型过程的精确测量，以及寻找新物理学的表现，即与标准模型的偏差，来实现。这些目标与STFC的战略重点是一致的，为了实现这些目标，我们还致力于ATLAS升级和DUNE实验的仪器建设，以及针对未来加速器实验和未来中微子和暗物质实验的未来对撞机和通用技术开发的研究和开发。在ATLAS上，我们将进行精确的希格斯测量，寻找罕见的希格斯玻色子过程，这可以阐明我们对宇宙宇宙演化的理解。我们将通过“黑暗机器”合作项目和罕见的衰变搜索，包括玻色子的产生，来寻找包括暗物质在内的新物理。我们将通过各种高能过程和稀有B衰变的研究来研究标准模型。在ATLAS升级方面，我们将致力于内部跟踪器升级和1级热量计触发器的建设，以确保英国谅解备忘录的贡献得到满足，并从该项目中实现最大的物理产量。同样，在DUNE实验中，我们将致力于近距离探测器的建设，以确保满足英国谅解备忘录的要求，并确保英国投资的物理输出最大化。我们对NOvA中微子实验的贡献集中在测量截面数据上，这对确定中微子扇区的振荡参数至关重要，并最终与寻找中微子中的物质-反物质不对称性有关，这可能是我们为什么生活在一个物质主导的宇宙中的答案。一旦DUNE实验的构建完成，这个实验活动自然会引导我们去开发DUNE实验。为了使STFC项目的最大物理输出成为全球粒子物理项目的一部分，PPRC致力于为未来的实验开发基础探测器技术。成熟的技术被分解成近期目标，例如ATLAS升级和DUNE活动。从长期来看，我们确定了一些障碍，例如需要低质量跟踪系统、能够在高通量、因此高辐射、环境中发挥作用的技术、当前和下一代实验的数据采集。我们还专注于评估新兴技术和新技术，旨在克服现有技术的挑战或限制，超越当前一代仪器。例如，在未来的暗物质和中微子实验中减少中子背景的方法，以及在其他STFC实验项目中的可能应用。我们通过社会和经济途径积极参与影响。QMUL的成立是为了促进当地社区的教育和机会。今天，外联和公众参与，特别是与当地社区的接触，仍然很有力。QMUL拥有公众参与的黄金水印。由于我们作为一个组织的历史根源，以及QMUL在公众参与方面所表现出的战略愿景，外展活动已融入我们课程的核心精神。我们还努力与商业部门和其他利益相关者合作，为英国带来经济利益，并积极追求技术创新，创造知识产权
