Australian researchers have been involved with the A Toroidal Lagre Hadron Collider ApparatuS (ATLAS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider since the early 1990's. They have had significant roles in ATLAS hardware design and construction, software development, and in the deployment of a data computing grid, thereby paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries surrounding the fundamental laws and origin of our universe. By performing a search for Higgs bosons, required in many models of particle physics but which have so far not been observed, this research embodies the final step on this road to discovery. The huge publicity surrounding the discovery potential at the Large Hadron Collider will raise the international awareness and stature of basic research in Australia.Read moreRead less

This project will support physicists in the expected era of discovery in the knowledge of fundamental particles that makes up our Universe. Having participated in developing the giant $½ billion ATLAS experiment, Australian scientists will be making major discoveries in this era. ATLAS will hunt down the Higgs boson, to understand the origin of mass of fundamental particles. ATLAS will also search for particles to explain Dark Matter, which makes 25% of our Universe. ATLAS will search for undiscovered laws of nature to help us unify our understanding of the forces of nature. Excellent training, public interest, international cooperation and networking, and national pride will be enhanced by this project.
