DIRAC experiment

The experiment started in 1999 and its aim is to measure the lifetime of π+ π- and πK atoms in the ground state using the 24 GeV/c proton beam of the CERN Proton Synchrotron. This is a very challenging task requiring quite a lot of time and high precision of measurement

H1 experiment

The experiment investigates properties of electron/positron collisions with protons on the HERA collider at DESY Hamburg at the centre of mass energy 920 GeV. Parton distribution functions of proton, discovery of hard diffraction in ep collisions, investigation of virtual photon structure, jet physics and neutral current properties, are the main topics of the experiment. Since HERA was stopped in the middle of 2007, the data analysis and publishing of physical results are the main activities of the experiment now.

Experiment DELPHI

Experiment DELPHI finished data collection in 2000. The department collaborated on the upgrade of experimental equipment.   The full text >>

CALICE Project

The aim of the project is to develop and test a new type of hadron calorimeter for a detector at planned International Linear Collider (ILC). The required properties are high density, hermeticity and very high granularity to separate different particle in jets.

Project WLCG

WLCG is an international project lead by CERN with the aim to coordinate the worldwide LCG GRID data processing of the LHC experiments. Regional computing center for particle physics AS CR is fully integrated into the LCG grid and automatically delivers computing services to the collaborating experiments.  The full text >>

Grid

The Department collaborates on running the grid computing for experiments with another Institute department SAVT, with CESNET as national grid computing coordinator and with other international projects like EGI or WLCG. CESNET also provides special computing point to point connections for the grid.   The full text >>
