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. |

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 |
