We study the Physics of Elementary Particles.

Experiments study the outcome of collisions of accelerated particles,
observed in detectors.
Experiments and detectors carry a common name.

The group has been involved in two completed experiments:
OPAL, studying electron positron collisions with the LEP collider,
CHORUS, searching for mass oscillations of neutrinos from the SPS proton synchrotron.

is active in two current experiments:
ATLAS, to study proton proton collisions at record energy with the LHC accelerator,
OPERA, for further search for mass oscillations of neutrinos from the SPS proton synchrotron.

The group has been involved in the CERN RD 46 collaboration for R&D concerning microtracking devices and imaging. It has also been involved in the CHARON experiment, to help calibrate CHORUS.
