High energy physics
The high-energy physics is a branch of physics , resulting from the nuclear physics developed into its own discipline. She investigates the structure of small and tiny particles and elementary particles and their reactions with one another. It is a collective term for particle physics and high-energy heavy ion physics . Your results are important for an understanding of the structure of today's world, but also of the early universe in an extremely hot stage in which different particle reactions took place than they are known today.
When looking for new particles and interactions , high energies in the GeV and TeV range are necessary. In large particle accelerators , such as storage rings, elementary particles are brought to almost the speed of light and they collide with one another almost head-on .
Facilities where experiments in high-energy physics are carried out include: a .:
- HERA at DESY in Hamburg
- LEP , SPS and LHC at CERN near Geneva
- Tevatron at Fermilab near Chicago
- Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Brookhaven
- UNILAC , SIS, and ESR at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt.
Since the beginning of January 2014, as part of the international open access project SCOAP³, all articles relating to the subject have been freely accessible in relevant journals for high-energy physics. high-energy physics is thus taking on a pioneering role in the international open access transformation. There are three national contact points for SCOAP³ for Germany:
- Helmholtz Association - represented by the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY)
- Max Planck Society
- SCOAP³-DH - represented by the Technical Information Library (TIB) as the national contact point for German universities and other research institutions
