1 Best Astrophysics in Sweden for 2024

Particle physics addresses the fundamental principles governing our world: forces and constituents. Today, our understanding is described by the Standard Model theory, which has exceptional predictive power but is incomplete. We explore the predictions of the Standard Model and seek a more complete understanding. These experiments are mainly done at the LHC collider at CERN where we are involved in the ATLAS and ALICE experiments. ATLAS searches for new physics, whereas ALICE studies the quark-gluon plasma. As a Master’s student in particle physics, you will take an active part in analysing the data recorded by the experiments.
