Accelerators
Currently, around 17000 accelerators exist in the world and these are used for a variety of applications including medicine, semi-conductor manufacture and understanding the structure of materials.
ATLAS
ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The ATLAS detector is designed to search for new physics in the collisions of protons at extraordinarily high energies.
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
CMS is one of the four particle physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Grid and Computing
Computing Activities in the Particle Physics Department
LHCb
LHCb is one of the four main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN with the purpose to study CP violation and rare decays of beauty and charm hadrons
Neutrinos
The elusive neutrinos are difficult to measure. The T2K experiment in Japan and DUNE experiment at Stanford investigates the properties of the neutrinos and ways to observe them.
New Detector Initiatives
The PPD New Detector Initiatives group brings together specialists in a cross-disciplinary group to investigate the Knowledge Exchange and Intellectual Property opportunities for our world-leading technology.
