Research in Oxford
Research in Particle Physics at
Oxford involves the study of the basic building blocks of matter
and the forces that act upon them. The research staff and
students here participate in a wide range of research, from the
structure of the atomic nucleus and its contents, to the
mysteries surrounding the elusive particles called neutrinos and
dark matter in the Universe. The research involves international
collaboration on experiments based in a variety of countries, at
high-energy particle accelerators and in underground
laboratories.

Particle Physics Masterclass
Oxford again held these popular one-day events
for 6th formers studying physics, as part of the National
Particle Physics Masterclasses organised by the High Energy
Particle Physics Group of the Institute of Physics throughout
the UK. The page for this year's masterclass can be found
here
Several members of the Particle Physics group are happy to give talks to schools and other organisations. A list of names and topics appears
here.
Play the role of detective in this introduction to one of
the experiments physicists from Oxford work on: the Delphi
experiment at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics.
