The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the two large detectors which will study collisions of protons with protons when the LHC first turns on for science in 2008. ATLAS will be sensitive to many different types of interactions taking place in these collisions. The energy of the colliding particles is seven times higher than in previous experiments, and so there is a big possibility of processes being seen which have never been seen before - i.e. that new physics may be discovered. Such new processes have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of the deepest structure of matter and the forces of nature. The principal investigator will act as 'Physics Coordinator' for ATLAS during 2008/9. This will involve directing the physics research and setting priorities, as well as management of effort and ensuring that physics results are carefully checked.

大型强子对撞机（LHC）上的ATLAS实验是两个大型探测器之一，当LHC于2008年首次投入科学研究时，它们将研究质子与质子的碰撞。ATLAS将对这些碰撞中发生的许多不同类型的相互作用非常敏感。碰撞粒子的能量比以前的实验高7倍，因此很有可能看到以前从未见过的过程——也就是说，可能会发现新的物理现象。这样的新过程有可能彻底改变我们对物质最深层结构和自然力量的理解。首席研究员将在2008/9年度担任ATLAS的“物理协调员”。这将包括指导物理研究和设置优先级，以及努力管理和确保物理结果仔细检查。
