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
Abstract Large collected dataset by the LHCb experiment, combined with unconventional ideas, allows more and more rare decays mediated by flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions, possible only at the loop level in the Standard Mo
The production of electroweak gauge bosons is a probe for a wide range of important physics aspects at the LHC.
Since the initial data taking of the CERN LHC, the CMS experiment has undergone substantial upgrades and improvements.
In this talk I provide an executive summary of some of the recent progress that has been made in understanding some key features of quantum gravitational theories.
