ABOUT US
The Experimental Physics (EP) Department carries out research in the field of experimental particle physics.
It aims to provide a stimulating scientific atmosphere and remains an important reference centre for the European physics community. It contributes to the education and training of young scientists.
EP is one of the largest departments at CERN, with about 500 staff members and over 300 other members of personnel: Fellows, Associates, Students and Apprentices.
In addition it hosts the approximately 12,000 Users that visit CERN from their home institutes around the world to perform scientific research.

CP violation is well established in meson decays, including strange, charm and beauty mesons, but it has yet to be confirmed in baryon decays.
In high energy physics experiments, hybrid pixel detectors are an integral part of the tracking systems closest to the interaction points, where their good spatial resolution and high radiation resilience allow for particle tracking by conne
In the Standard Model, the trilinear and quartic Higgs boson self-couplings are directly linked to the shape of the Higgs boson potential.
Making up 70% of the universe and responsible for its accelerated expansion, Dark energy is the biggest mystery in cosmology.
