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.

FASER, located 480 meters downstream of ATLAS and operational since the start of Run 3, is investigating Feebly Interacting Particles (FIPs) produced at the ATLAS interaction point.
The observed increase in strange hadron production with multiplicity in high-energy hadronic and heavy-ion collisions remains an open question.
Making up 70% of the universe and responsible for its accelerated expansion, Dark energy is the biggest mystery in cosmology.
