The University of Manchester Experimental Particle Physics Group Rolling Grant Application 2006-2011

曼彻斯特大学的粒子物理小组将继续探索基本粒子和自然力。这是由几个实验完成的：欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）的大型强子对撞机（LHC）上的ATLAS将于2007年启动，它将研究迄今为止最高能量的质子-质子碰撞，并有望揭示大量新粒子。SLAC的BaBar正在测量物质和反物质之间的差异。Dzero位于费米实验室，在大型强子对撞机启动之前，它是目前能量最高的对撞机。SuperNemo将寻找一种核衰变，如果发现，将表明中微子是它自己的反粒子。我们还为基础物理研究所使用的探测器、电子设备、加速器和计算机开展了持续的研发计划。

The Particle Physics Group at Manchester University will continue to probe the fundamental particles and forces of nature. This is done by several experiments: ATLAS at the :LHC at CERN, due to start in 2007, will study proton-proton collisions at the highest energies yet, and is expected to reveal a wealth of new particles. BaBar at SLAC is measuring the difference between matter and antimatter. Dzero is at Fermilab, which is presently the highest energy collider till the LHC starts. SuperNemo will search for a type of nuclear beta decay which, if found, would show that the neutrino is its own antiparticle. We also run an ongoing R and D programme for the detectors, electronics, accelerators and computers we use for our investigations into fundamental physics.
