Quarks,leptons & bosons

Gauge boson couplings Z/ 

Key questions Origin of mass Properties of strong interaction Origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry Unification of forces Neutrino masses Three generations …….

Particle Physics Projects Current experiments Hera (H1) Tevatron CP violation (BaBar) Neutrino observatories In-build experiments Large Hadron Collider ( ATLAS, ALICE) Long baseline neutrino beams Future facilities Linear collider (CALICE) Neutrino factory/ Muon collider

Collaboration and Timescale of Experiments All our experiments are international collaborations at particle colliders at CERN, DESY and SLAC Most involve detector construction and operational responsibilities Most take data and perform physics analyses for up to 10 years (total time years) We focus on physics analysis in all of our experiments

Life cycle of experiments Data taking and physics analysis (BABAR, H1) Construction, software and physics preparation (ALICE, ATLAS) Design and planning phase (Linear Collider) Top research rating for PP group impossible to maintain without leading roles in a wide range of experiments

Links to other fields Challenging detector and electronics requirements – spin off technologies Data rates, data storage and processing require world-wide Grid computing model Midlands e-science centre of excellence MeSc Tier2 centre with Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford and RAL all consistent with our main aim precision measurements and search for new phenomena in high energy collisions

The experiments BaBar (Chris Hawkes) CP violation H1 (Paul Newman) strong interaction ALICE (David Evans) quark confinement ATLAS (Dave Charlton) origin of mass Linear Collider (Nigel Watson) unification Conclusions (Pete Watkins)
