Physics Department (CERN)

The Physics Department at CERN is a leading scientific research organization focused on understanding fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe. It operates large-scale particle accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider, to smash particles together at high energies. By analyzing these collisions, scientists investigate the basic building blocks of matter and the laws governing them. CERN's work has led to significant discoveries, including the Higgs boson, enhancing our knowledge of the universe’s origins and fundamental physics. The department fosters international collaboration, combining expertise and resources worldwide to push the boundaries of scientific understanding.
