Funded Activity Summary

The standard model of particle physics and beyond in the era of the Large Hadron Collider. This project will enhance the nation's intellectual culture and international standing through the study of original ideas about the nature of our universe. The advent of the Large Hadron Collider era, courtesy of the giant European accelerator laboratory called CERN, will revolutionise particle physics in the next few years. High achieving students are very excited by the research questions addressed in this proposal, so it will add significantly to the pool of highly-trained young Australians. They emerge as general problem solvers and flexible thinkers of high calibre in addition to becoming experts in particular areas. The big fundamental questions to be considered are also of great fascination to the general public.
