What is everything made of, and what holds it together? We study the basic constituents of matter and the forces acting among them.

Matter, taken apart

High energy physics looks for the fundamental laws behind matter. Most of it happens at accelerators and detectors, where colliding beams leave data full of hints.

Join the group

If you want to know what the universe is made of, this group asks that question directly. High energy physics studies the basic constituents of matter and the forces acting among them.

In accelerators, beams of electrons or protons are driven to high speed and collided. The data from these apparently chaotic collisions carries hints about the underlying physics, and experimental physicists dig the laws out of it.

Our questions run from the building blocks of matter and the gap between matter and antimatter, to dark matter, nucleosynthesis and the evolution of the universe since the Big Bang.

On the theory side we model hybrid mesons and meson–meson systems.
