Sussex Experimental Particle Physics Capital Equipment 2016

苏塞克斯EPP小组带头参与了寻求进行极其灵敏的测量的实验活动，这些测量可能会回答关于物质与反物质的性质以及物理定律背后的基本对称性的关键问题。这些测量关键依赖于设备的开发，这些设备可以在极端条件下长时间可靠地运行，并具有对低污染水平的极端要求。在这项资本设备赠款中，我们为3D打印机申请资金，该打印机能够从高性能工程塑料中产生无磁污染的部件，适用于高真空应用，也可能用于低放射性本底测量。我们还寻求资金，以建立一个环境舱，能够在一系列温度和湿度水平下对电子设备进行压力测试，然后将其部署在难以进入进行维修或更换的具有挑战性的环境中。此外，我们正在申请资金，以增强我们的校准和触发系统的能力与现场可编程门阵列技术。

The Sussex EPP group has leading involvement in experimental activities seeking to make extremely sensitive measurements that may answer key questions regarding the nature of matter versus antimatter and fundamental symmetries underlying the laws of physics. These measurements crucially rely on the development of equipment that can operate reliably for extended periods of time under extreme conditions, and with extreme requirements for low contamination levels. In this capital equipment grant we are requesting funds for a 3D printer capable of generating magnetic-contaminant-free components out of high performance engineering plastics suitable for high-vacuum applications and also potentially for low-radioactivity background measurements. We also seek funds for an environmental chamber capable of stress testing electronics equipment in a range of temperatures and humidity levels before it is deployed in challenging environments that are difficult to access for repair or replacement. In addition, we are requesting funds to enhance our calibration and trigger system capabilities with FPGA technology.
