ATLAS
ATLAS is a large general-purpose particle physics experiment. It is designed to study the fundamental constituents of matter, searching for new processes and particles that could change our understanding of energy and mass
BOULBY UNDERGROUND LABORATORY
Boulby Underground Laboratory is a multi-disciplinary, deep-underground science facility operating 1.1km below ground in a working potash, polyhalite and rock-salt mine in the North East of England.
CMS
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with a physics programme ranging from studying the Standard Model to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter
COMPUTING: WLCG
The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid WLCG project is building and maintaining a data storage and analysis infrastructure for the entire high-energy physics community that will use the LHC, for which PPd contributed to the support of the UK Tier 1 centre.
LHC COLLABORATION
Experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) use detectors to analyse at the TeV scale the myriad of particles produced by collisions in the accelerator. These experiments are run by collaborations of scientists from institutes all over the world
LHCb
LHCb is one of the four main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN with the purpose to study CP violation and investigate rare decays of beauty and charm quarks
PROJECT OFFICE and PROGRAMME SUPPORT
The PPD Project Office provides management and delivery expertise to the wider UK particle physics community. The UK Liaison Office Team provides support to students and researchers for issues concerning relocation and settling in to work at CERN.
