Particle physics research

Particle physics research explores the fundamental building blocks of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. Scientists use powerful machines called particle accelerators to smash particles together at high energies, revealing tiny constituents like quarks and leptons. By studying these interactions and the resulting debris, researchers seek to understand how the universe’s fundamental forces work and uncover new particles or phenomena, helping to answer profound questions about the origin and nature of the universe. This research advances our knowledge of the universe at its most basic level and drives technological innovation.
