Particle Physics Experiment Group

Current Activities of the Particle Physics Experiment (PPE) Group

The Particle Physics Experiment group is participating four particle physics projects: ATLAS, LHCb, BaBar and GridPP


ATLAS ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. ATLAS aims to study the origin of mass, extra dimensions of space, microscopic black holes, and evidence for dark matter candidates in the universe. ATLAS at Edinburgh \| ATLAS Homepage at CERN		LHCb LHCb is a Beauty experiment at the Large Hadron collider at CERN for precision measurement of CP violation and rare decays of B hadrons. LHCb at Edinburgh \| LHCb Homepage at CERN
	GridPP GridPP is a collaboration of particle physicists and computer scientists from the UK and CERN. We are building a distributed computing Grid across the UK for particle physicis. GridPP at Edinburgh \| GridPP Homepage
BaBar BaBar is an experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC, studying CP violation and rare decays of B mesons. BaBar at Edinburgh \| BaBar Homepage at SLAC		ILC Detector research and design for a future linear collider is a long term interest of the group. The aim of the ILC is to measure very precisely the properties of the Higgs boson and any new particles that may exist. ILC at Edinburgh \| ILC Homepage at CERN
