The LHC as an electroweak boson collider: A novel laboratory for dark matter, the origin of neutrino mass and other new electroweak phenomena

在大型强子对撞机的ATLAS实验中，使用新技术来搜索和测量暗物质和中微子质量起源的机制。使用这些技术对暗物质的敏感度比任何现有方法都要好得多，而且完全没有实验探索过。如果暗物质优先耦合到纵向极化的矢量玻色子，这实际上将是在大型强子对撞机上发现暗物质的唯一途径。该项目将致力于发展这些想法，以改进可以做的事情，以及探索大型强子对撞机对这些机制的敏感性。它将涉及与理论家合作，并在ATLAS上执行技术工作。

Use new techniques to search for and measure dark matter and the mechanism for the origin of neutrino mass at the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. There is much better sensitivity to dark matter using these techniques than any existing approach and it is completely unexplored experimentally. If dark matter preferentially couples to longitudinally-polarised vector bosons, this will actually be the only way to discover dark matter at the LHC. The project will aim to develop these ideas to improve what can be done, as well as exploring the sensitivity of the LHC to these mechanisms. It will involve collaborating with theorists and performing technical work on ATLAS.
