Lancaster Experimental Particle Physics Consolidated Grant 2019-22

主要目标是通过在大型强子对撞机、欧洲核子研究中心北区和不同设施的一组中微子实验，探索物质的基本成分、它们的性质和相互作用。解决的问题是：寻找新的粒子和力，无论是直接的还是通过它们的量子力学效应；宇宙是如何单独由物质构成的，而不是由物质和反物质的混合物迅速湮灭的；我们生活的世界是否真的只有三维空间和一维时间；并通过天文学的观察发现暗物质是由什么组成的。这项工作还将推动探测器的发展和新工艺，以及新的计算和软件技术。

The main objectives are to explore the fundamental constituents of matter, their properties and interactions through experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, the CERN North Area and a group of Neutrino experiments at different facilities. The questions addressed are: the search for new particles and forces, both directly and via their quantum mechanical effects; how the Universe came to be made of matter alone, and not a mixture of matter and antimatter that swiftly annihilated itself; whether the world we live in really only has 3 dimensions of space and one of time; and to discover what the dark matter know about by observations in astronomy is made up of. The work will also drive detector development and new processes, and new computing and software techniques.
