Australian participation in the Belle II experiment: This project will provide membership for Australian scientists of one of the key contemporary particle physics experiments, the Belle II experiment in Japan, and contribute to the purchase and installation of equipment for the Japanese facility. The Belle II experiment aims to search for a deeper theory of nature which will add significantly to our ability to answer questions such as why there is a preponderance of matter over antimatter in the Universe, and what is the nature of the dark matter which pervades it. This project will allow Australian scientists to pursue these questions in the coming years, with the additional benefit of increasing Australia's research profile in fundamental physics and its engagement with basic science in the Asia-Pacific region.Read moreRead less
ARC Centre of Excellence for Particle Physics at the Tera-Scale. The Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator at the CERN laboratory in Europe, has commenced operation. It will discover how particles gain mass, explore the identity of cosmological dark matter, and search for the new laws of physics needed for a satisfactory theory of the structure of matter. the Centre will provide the enhanced capability and institutional coordination and development needed for Australia to make a ....ARC Centre of Excellence for Particle Physics at the Tera-Scale. The Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator at the CERN laboratory in Europe, has commenced operation. It will discover how particles gain mass, explore the identity of cosmological dark matter, and search for the new laws of physics needed for a satisfactory theory of the structure of matter. the Centre will provide the enhanced capability and institutional coordination and development needed for Australia to make a major contribution to this most prestigious international project. It will transform Australia's standing in fundamental physics, provide unsurpassed training, generate many linkages in science and technology, and lead an important public outreach program.Read moreRead less

Australian contribution to CERN large hadron collider experiment upgrade: The discovery of the Higgs Boson with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN laboratory's large hadron collider, has been a highlight for Australian science. Scientists will build upon the foundation of the Higgs discovery to further probe the nature of matter at the finest scales and highest energies. Detailed measurements of the Higgs characteristics will determine if it is as predicted by the Standard Model or whether it admits a variation, signalling new physics. The upgrade in this project will provide for such detailed measurements. It will also allow sensitive probes of new physics, searching for new particles or unexpected interactions.Read moreRead less
ARC Centre of Excellence - Centre for Antimatter-Matter Studies. While our world is made of matter, all particles have anti-particles and the most abundant is the positron, the electron's antiparticle. It is the "workshop" for most anti-matter studies, particularly for the characterization of materials, including gases, polymers, insulators, thin films and surfaces, as well as the development of new and novel, nano-structured materials. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Antimatter-Matter Studies ....ARC Centre of Excellence - Centre for Antimatter-Matter Studies.

It is the "workshop" for most anti-matter studies, particularly for the characterization of materials, including gases, polymers, insulators, thin films and surfaces, as well as the development of new and novel, nano-structured materials. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Antimatter-Matter Studies (CAMS) will bring together key Australian and international scientists to work in this emerging scientific field of antimatter-matter interactions. It will forge a unique and effective scientific team for state-of-the-art studies of the nano-world that underlies many everyday processes and new technologies.Read moreRead less
