Technology and Particle Physics

Particle Physics research is driven by an interest and passion to further our understanding of the universe. To carry out experiments and research in particle physics, scientists and engineers work at the very edge of technological and engineering boundaries, and collaborate with industry to construct the biggest, most complex experiments in the world.   The technology outcomes are varied and of huge benefit to society.
