Particle Physics

Experimental high-energy physics is the science about interactions of elementary particles and atomic nuclei at high energies.

Subject area

The present main activity at the division is to take part in the construction of the ALICE and ATLAS experiments at CERN's future Large Hadron Collider, that will be finished in 2008. We also take part in the PHENIX experiment at BNL. The H1 experiment at DESY has finished, but data analysis is still going on.
Research subjects are : collisions between heavy nuclei (ALICE and PHENIX), proton collisions at high energy (ATLAS), and structure of the proton using ep collisions (H1). The division also takes part in the developement of detectors for the future international linear collider ILC, and in the developement of Grid technologies for data processing and data storage.
