Physics

CERN’s physics programme ranges from nuclear to high-energy physics and from studies of antimatter to the possible effects of cosmic rays on clouds.

Accelerators

Particle accelerators propel sub-atomic particles to extremely high velocities for a variety of uses from high-energy physics research to medical scans and treatments.

Experiments

Diverse experiments at CERN investigate physics from the early universe to supersymmetry.

Engineering

Engineers at CERN build and test the machines and systems that physicists rely on, and technicians keep these systems running smoothly, performing repairs and upgrades where necessary.

Computing

Experiments at CERN generate colossal amounts of data. The Data Centre stores these data sets and sends them around the world for analysis.
