Sydney University High Energy Physics Group

Postdoctoral Fellow Aldo Saavedra and the ATLAS detector at CERN The Sydney University High Energy Physics Group is part of the School of Physics, which is in the Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney.

High Energy, or Particle, physics involves the study of the world of subatomic particles by observing the collisions of particles accelerated either naturally (as in cosmic rays) or using accelerators. The group is currently involved in several main areas of research in collaboration with various universities. In Australia, we are collaborating on the Belle and ATLAS projects with the Experimental Particle Physics Group (EPP) of the University of Melbourne. Our areas of research are:

  • The search for Higgs Bosons at ATLAS, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland.
  • The search for CP-violation at Belle, KEK, Tsukuba, Japan.
  • The development of accelerator-driven nuclear reactors

You can find out more about our work in these areas here. There are excellent opportunities for new students in any of our research areas.

We would like to acknowledge the funding agencies that provide us with support.
