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.
Upcoming events
At the birth of modern Western science, there were deep-rooted prejudices around race and gender that went on to influence theories and research into human difference.
After the second and the third Long Shutdown (LS2 + LS3), Large Hadron Collider (LHC) luminosity will approach values of 2*10^34cm−2s−1 and 5*10^34cm−2 s−1 respectively. The CMS experiment performances would be severely affected without ded
JWST was launched in December 2022 and is now ready for science. It is the largest infrared space observatory ever built and covers the spectral wavelength range from 1 micron to 28 microns.
