“The U.K. made the largest national contribution to the project, pioneering new technologies that have made today's result possible where we probe nature at a new scale. But this is also just the start; we are planning the construction of an experiment that will exploit the capabilities of the next-generation High Luminosity LHC, probing physics at an even smaller scale.”
