The Experimental Study of Elementary Particle Interactions at High Energy

剑桥高能物理小组的研究活动主要集中在高能加速器的实验上，目前在欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机和ATLAS和LHCb实验，以及未来在费米实验室和线性对撞机设施的长基线中微子实验LBNF。目标是了解自然界的基本粒子及其相互作用，特别是发现超出我们目前理解的物理，理解为什么宇宙只由物质而不是反物质组成，并揭示暗物质的身份。这笔赠款将使该小组能够充分利用大型强子对撞机的物理特性，兑现我们对ATLAS和LHCb实验升级的承诺，并巩固我们对中微子计划的大力参与。这一令人兴奋的物理计划提供的机会不仅将推动发现的前沿，而且还将对当地企业和公众参与产生重大影响。

The Cambridge High Energy Physics Group focuses its research activities on experiments at high-energy accelerators, currently the Large Hadron Collider and the ATLAS and LHCb experiments at CERN, and the future long-baseline neutrino experiment LBNF at Fermilab and linear collider facilities. The goal is to understand the fundamental particles of nature and their interactions, in particular, to discover physics beyond our current understanding, to understand why the Universe is made only of matter and not antimatter and to reveal the identity of dark matter. This grant will enable the group to fully exploit the physics of the LHC, deliver our commitments to the upgrades of the ATLAS and LHCb experiments, and to consolidate our strong participation in our neutrino programme. The opportunities offered by this exciting physics programme will not only drive the forefront of discovery, but also provide substantial impact to local enterprises and on public engagement.
