1 Experimental Particle Physics Do you want to discover… What is the origin of mass ? Discover the Higgs boson with ATLAS Why is there more matter than anti-matter in the universe ? Measure CP violation with LHCb Are there new fundamental particles ? Find supersymmetry with CDF What is the structure of the proton ? Scatter electrons from quarks at ZEUS Would you like to... Measure fundamental properties of physics Develop new imaging technologies Work in large international groups Visiting / staying at overseas facillities. PPE Group : 8 Lecturers, 21 Researchers, 7 Support staff, 17 PhD Students. PhD Training Full programme of technical PhD training lectures from Feynman diagrams to C++ NICE PICTURE

2 Experimental Particle Physics Experiments Work at the world’s leading Particle Physics accelerators –CERN, Geneva; Fermilab, Chicago; DESY, Hamburg Video of LHC Construction ATLAS has 2000 physicists worldwide working on an experiment the size of a five storey building LHCb looks for a tiny difference between the behaviour of matter and antimatter ZEUS Perform Deep Inelastic Scattering at the only e-p collider in the world. Large data sample ready for you to analyse. CDF uses the most powerful particle accelerator currently operating in the world. Large Hadron Collider The largest scientific project ever built starts April 2007. Have your analysis ready to study the first data.

3 Experimental Particle Physics E-Science GRID –The web of processing power Simulation & Reconstruction –LHC experiments will produce xxTB of data/ year –How do we store this? –How do we analyse this? 200 CPU Farm located in the Kelvin Building. Additional CPU and storage are located in Edinburgh and Durham. Connected to a globally distributed network of computers Optorsim is a Grid simulator designed to test dynamic replication strategies EGEE Pan-European Project to develop GRID middleware with LHC as first application

4 Experimental Particle Physics Detector Development Specialise in developing semiconductor detectors –Design, Fabrication, Measurement Used for the highest precision inner layers of particle detectors –Spatial Resolution of 4  m ! –Single photon sensitive detectors Not just for particle physics Artificial Eyes? Replace Medical X-Ray film? 3D Detectors new technology with holes through silicon
