Transformational Science and Technologies in Particle Astrophysics

粒子天体物理学研究解决了关于宇宙本质的最优先问题，同时发展了科学前沿的新技术。女王大学被公认为拥有世界上最好的粒子天体物理学研究项目之一，也是2015年诺贝尔物理学奖共同获得者阿特·麦克唐纳博士的科学家园，旨在成为下一代全球重要粒子天体物理学实验的世界领导者。在CFREF的支持下，在阿尔伯塔省、不列颠哥伦比亚省、卡尔顿大学、劳伦森大学、麦吉尔大学、蒙特里萨、多伦多大学、SNOLAB、TRIUMF、圆周研究所、粒子物理研究所和CIFAR的顶尖科学家的参与下，CFREF的总体目标是实现最高水平的国际卓越研究，并通过建立一个环境来加强加拿大的经济：女王大学和合作的加拿大机构拥有足够的质量和技能，可以继续提供世界领先的突破性科学，并在全球范围内的下一代实验中团结国际社会，包括那些寻求利用SNOLAB设施的属性和优势的实验；2. 创新的培训和发展计划吸引了所有职业阶段最优秀的教师、学生和研究人员，并培养了下一代世界领先的科学家；3. 与工业伙伴的研究产生了革命性的技术，推动了科学的发展，同时使更广泛的社区受益（预计在数据处理和分析、地下工程、医学成像、核医学以及放射性环境中的环境和个人监测方面取得进展）；和4。广大公众意识到实验项目和研究对加拿大和世界的价值，并为其成功而努力。

Particle astrophysics research addresses the highest priority questions on the nature of the universe while developing novel technologies at the frontiers of science. Queen's University, recognized as having one of the best particle astrophysics research programs in the world and the scientific home of Dr. Art McDonald co-winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, aims to be a world leader in the next generation of globally important particle astrophysics experiments. With support from CFREF and the participation of leading scientists at Alberta, British Columbia, Carleton, Laurentian, McGill, Montréal, Toronto, SNOLAB, TRIUMF, Perimeter Institute, the Institute for Particle Physics and CIFAR, the overarching goal is to achieve the highest level of international research excellence and to strengthen Canada's economy by building an environment where: 1. Queen's and collaborating Canadian institutions have the critical mass and skills to continue to deliver world-leading breakthrough science and rally the international community around globalscale next generation experiments, including those that seek to capitalize on the attributes and advantages of the SNOLAB facility; 2. innovative training and development programs attract the highest caliber faculty, students and research associates at all career stages and train the next generation of the world's leading scientists; 3. research with industrial partners produces transformative technologies that advance the science while benefiting the broader community (advancements are expected in data handling and analysis, underground engineering, medical imaging, nuclear medicine, and environmental and personal monitoring in radio-active environments); and 4. the broad public is aware of the experimental program and the value of the research to Canada and the world, and is engaged in its success.
