ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of the five detector experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM, and LHCb) being constructed at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. It is optimized to study heavy ion collisions. Pb-Pb nuclei collisions will be studied at a centre of mass energy of 5.5 TeV per nucleon. The resulting temperature and density are expected to be large enough to generate a quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter wherein quarks and gluons are deconfined. ...more on Wikipedia about "A Large Ion Collider Experiment"

The construction is scheduled to be completed in 2007. The experiment is expected to measure phenomena that involve highly massive particles which were not measurable using earlier lower- energy accelerators and might shed light on new theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. ...more on Wikipedia about "ATLAS experiment"

The ATRAP collaboration at CERN developed out of TRAP, a collaboration whose members pioneered cold antiprotons, cold positrons, and first made the ingredients of cold antihydrogen to interact. ATRAP members also pioneered accurate hydrogen spectroscopy and first observed hot antihydrogen atoms. The collaboration includes investigators from Harvard, the University of Bonn, the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, the University of Amsterdam, York University, Seoul National University, NIST, Forschungszentrum Jülich. ...more on Wikipedia about "ATRAP"

In the field of particle physics BaBar is an international collaboration of more than 550 physicists and engineers investigating CP-violation effects using the BaBar particle detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator, Stanford, CA, USA. If the CP symmetry holds, the decay rate of B meson particles and their anti-particles should be equal. Analysis of the BaBar results showed this was not the case—in the summer of 2002, definitive results were published based on the analysis of 87 million B/B-bar meson-pair events, clearly showing the decay rates were not equal. Consistent results were also gathered in the Belle experiment at the KEK laboratory in Japan. ...more on Wikipedia about "BaBar experiment" http://www.shortopedia.com - Go in quickly. shortopedia

The Belle Experiment is a particle physics experiment conducted by the Belle Collaboration, an international collaboration of more than 400 physicists and engineers investigating CP-violation effects at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation ( KEK) in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. ...more on Wikipedia about "Belle experiment"

The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experimental collaboration studies high energy particle collisions at the Tevatron, the world’s highest energy particle accelerator. The goal is to discover the identity and properties of the particles that make up the universe and to understand the forces and interactions between those particles. ...more on Wikipedia about "Collider Detector at Fermilab"

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is a large particle physics detector being ( 2003) built on the proton-proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. Approximately 2300 people from 159 scientific institutes form the collaboration building it. It will be located in an underground chamber at Cessy in France, just across the border from Geneva. The completed detector will be cylindrical, 21 metres long and 16 metres diameter and weigh approximately 12500 tonnes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Compact Muon Solenoid"

DONUT (Direct Observation of the NU Tau, E872) was an experiment at Fermilab dedicated to the search for tau neutrino interactions. Even though the detector operated only during a few months in the summer of 1997, it was largely successful and arguably completed experimental verification of the Standard Model of particle physics. ...more on Wikipedia about "DONUT"

Gargamelle was a giant particle detector at CERN, designed mostly for the detection of neutrinos. With a diameter of nearly 2 meter and 4.8 meter in length, Gargamelle was a bubble chamber that held nearly 12 cubic meters of freon (CF₃Br). It operated for many years at the CERN PS and SPS. ...more on Wikipedia about "Gargamelle"

H1 is a particle detector in operation at HERA ( Hadron Elektron Ring Anlage) in DESY, Hamburg. It began operating together with HERA in 1992. Leptons ( electrons or positrons) are collided with protons by HERA in the interaction point of H1. H1 is operated by an international ...more on Wikipedia about "H1 (particle detector)"

S-LINK, for simple link interface, is a high-performance data acquisition standard developed at CERN for collecting information from particle accelerators and other sources. Unlike similar systems, S-LINK is based on the idea that data will be collected and stored by computers at both ends of the link, as opposed to a "dumb" devices collecting data to be stored on a "smart" computer. Having a full computer at both ends allows S-LINK to be very thin, primarily defining the logical standards used to feed data at high speed from the motherboards to the link hardware interfaces. ...more on Wikipedia about "S-LINK"
