About the course

Elementary Particle Physics, or High Energy Physics (HEP), investigates the smallest constituents of matter and is the foundation for understanding the evolution of the Universe from the Big Bang. University of Minnesota experimental physicists have made many contributions to developing the successful Standard Model of quarks and leptons and to glimpsing the first evidence of physics beyond it. Many mysteries remain and the adventure continues, as our faculty members, research associates and students build, operate and analyze experiments at laboratories all over the world. The tools of HEP research are giant particle accelerators, deep underground detectors and instrumentation of almost unimaginable sensitivity. At Minnesota we are engaged on all three of the frontiers of discovery that constitute the U.S. national experimental HEP program. At the Energy Frontier, our CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) group studies the Higgs boson and looks for physics “Beyond the Standard Model” with the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator.
