Experimental particle physics addresses some of the fundamentalquestions about the structure and behaviour of the Universe at thelevel of the smallest particles of matter, the quarks and the leptons,and the forces acting between them. We are exploring fundamentalproperties of particles at the the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) andalso exploring the nature of dark matter and neutrinos by developingand employing novel detection systems.We are contributing to the continued operation of the ATLAS project atthe Large Hadron Collider at CERN. We have constructed andcommissioned electronic systems and the software that drives them.From the beginning of data taking we have played a leading role insearches for exotic particles, the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson,and studies of the properties of the heaviest particle discovered so far:the top quark. Given the very large dataset currently available and being collected, we plan on expanding our measurements of the Higgs bosonand initiate new searches for exotic particles.Although there is ample indirect evidence for the existence of darkmatter as inferred from its gravitational interactions, it has not yetbeen directly detected in terrestrial laboratories. Direct detectionexperiments seek to observe dark matter scattering on target detectornuclei. We explore these issues through a world-leading dark mattersearch with the development of a large dark matter detector DarkSide-20k whichuses liquid argon. Using detection techniques similar to those of our dark matter research, we are also involved in the the puzzle surrounding the matter anti-matter asymmetry in the Universe bystudying the elusive neutrino particle. We measure CP violation in the lepton sectorusing the T2K long baseline neutrino experiment in Japan.

实验粒子物理学解决了一些基本问题的结构和行为的宇宙在thelevel的最小粒子的物质，夸克和轻子，和部队之间的作用。我们正在大型强子对撞机（LHC）上探索粒子的基本性质，并通过开发和使用新的探测系统来探索暗物质和中微子的性质。我们正在为欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机上的ATLAS项目的持续运作做出贡献。我们建造并调试了电子系统和驱动它们的软件。从数据采集开始，我们就在寻找奇异粒子、2012年发现希格斯玻色子以及研究迄今发现的最重粒子顶夸克的性质方面发挥了主导作用。考虑到目前可以获得的和正在收集的非常大的数据集，我们计划扩大我们对希格斯玻色子的测量，并开始对奇异粒子的新搜索。虽然有足够的间接证据表明暗物质的存在，从其引力相互作用中推断出来，但它还没有在地面实验室中被直接检测到。直接探测实验试图观察暗物质在目标探测器核上的散射。我们通过世界领先的暗物质搜索探索这些问题，并开发了一个使用液态氩的大型暗物质探测器DarkSide-20 k。使用类似于我们暗物质研究的探测技术，我们还通过研究难以捉摸的中微子粒子参与了围绕宇宙中物质反物质不对称性的谜题。我们利用日本的T2 K长基线中微子实验测量了轻子扇区的CP破坏。
