| Experimental High Energy Physics

Experimental High Energy Physics uses massive particle accelerators and sophisticated detectors to collide particles at near-light speeds. Researchers analyze the resulting data to study elementary particles and fundamental forces, like the Higgs boson and quark interactions. This work requires developing cutting-edge instrumentation, including advanced sensors and readout electronics. HEP experiments often involve large international collaborations working at facilities like CERN, KEK, and Brookhaven. The field also pushes the boundaries of computing and data analysis due to the immense amount of information collected. Experimental results provide evidence for or against theoretical models, helping scientists discover new physics beyond the Standard Model.
