Experimental Particle Physics (F9)

Research Staff: 21

International collaboration

The researchers of the Experimental Particle Physics Department are members of six high-energy physics collaborations:

ARGUS at DESY in Hamburg, Germany,
ATLAS at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland,
CPLEAR at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland,
DELPHI at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland,
HERA-B at DESY in Hamburg, Germany and
Pierre Auger Project at FERMILAB in USA.

Detector Development Laboratory

In the Detector Development Laboratory R&D is carried out with the aim to supply hardware to existing collaborations as well as to pave the path for future projects and to apply high-energy physics techniques to other fields, notably medicine and environmental science. The main ongoing activities are:

participation in the Very Forward Tracker upgrade for the DELPHI experiment,
constuction of the RICH detector for the HERA-B project at DESY,
construction of a Positron Emission Tomograph based on multiwire proportional chambers and Pb-Bi photon converters,
development of a Si-aerogel Cherenkov counter for detection of radioactive Strontium in the environment.
digital mammography using silicon detectors
