CERN

Addressing basic questions about matter and energy, such as the origin of mass and the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter

Applications now open for new MRes in Machine Learning and Big Data in the Physical Sciences

big qs

dark matter

What are the properties of dark matter?

More detail about dark matter research.
neutrino

What are the unique properties of neutrinos?

From mixing angles to new matter searches, the properties of neutrinos - and their implications - continue to be very significant.
two supermassive black holes

Can gravitational waves explain the extreme universe?

Large astronomical events can produce gravitational waves, revealing exotic physics and resulting in ground-breaking discoveries.

big qs 2

standard model

Is there a better description of nature than Standard Model?

More detail about Standard Model, neutrino oscillation, flavour violation, CP violation etc.
CMS detector subsystems

How does high energy physics drive hardware and software?

More detail about advances in detector development and machine learning/AI.

Applications

The HEP group is not just involved in data analysis and the study of particle behaviour. Some experiments involve using these findings to develop new technologies.
