| Description | This grant funds an ongoing research programme to investigate and develop upgrades to the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, so that it is equipped to collect much higher data volumes than it can at present. The upgrades being developed with this funding are to the "trigger system" of the experiment, which is tasked with the crucial selection of interesting proton-proton collisions (out of 40 million such collisions occurring every second), to be analysed later. More specifically associated with this grant was work developed related with the core infrastructure of the trigger software as well as simulation studies related with the construction of a novel trigger approach associated with including tracking information in the trigger decision. |
| Exploitation Route | The findings from this grant may eventually result in applications in other areas, such as electronics, algorithms and software. |
| Sectors | Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software) Education Electronics |

| Description | A very significant indirect non-academic impact of the research carried out in this grant is the training of research physicists who, in many cases, go on to jobs with high value to society and the economy (in engineering, industry, technology, finance, teaching, etc). There is also a societal impact from the excitement and interest into physics that this research provides. For example from news media articles like: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-44484062 |
| First Year Of Impact | 2017 |

| Impact Types | Cultural Societal Economic |
| Description | Particle Physics Masterclass |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | Participation in an activity, workshop or similar |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | Local |
| Primary Audience | Schools |
| Results and Impact | Students from local Sixth Form colleges come to spend a day listening to talks about Particle Physics and do hands on activities. The teachers also attend and participate in the activities. There are between 30 and 60 students who attend in any given year. The students get introduced to research being done in this field and ask questions. The teachers also learn about this subject which increases their confidence and they can choose to have follow up discussions in school. The surveys are very positive. |
