Top-quarks as a portal to new physics at the Large Hadron Collider

该项目旨在利用大型强子对撞机实验（ATLAS）的数据来研究物理学中的基本问题。该项目希望使用创新的分析技术来测试当前的基本粒子和相互作用模型。虽然这个因希格斯玻色子的发现而完善的模型与观测结果非常吻合，但它不可能是自然界的终极描述。预期的结果包括一项敏感的调查，即有史以来记录的最高能量粒子碰撞是否为更深层次的理论提供了证据。重要的好处将是基础知识的进步，年轻科学家的前沿培训，加强澳大利亚在国际科学中的参与，以及公众对科学的参与。

This project aims to use data from a Large Hadron Collider experiment, ATLAS, to investigate basic questions in physics. The project expects to use innovative analysis techniques to test the current model of fundamental particles and interactions. While the model, now completed by the Higgs boson discovery, agrees well with observations it cannot be Nature's ultimate description. Expected outcomes include a sensitive investigation of whether the highest energy particle collisions ever recorded hold evidence for a deeper theory. Significant benefits will be an advancement of fundamental knowledge, cutting-edge training of young scientists, strengthening of Australian participation in international science, and public engagement with science.
