High-energy physics investigates the basic constituents of matter,
and the interactions between them.
The present main research activities at the division are to take part in the
ALICE and ATLAS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.
We also take part in the PHENIX experiment at Brookhaven, and H1 at DESY in Hamburg.
Research subjects are: collisions between heavy nuclei
(ALICE and PHENIX), proton collisions
at high energy (ATLAS), and structure of the proton using ep collisions (H1).
The division participates also in the development of detectors for the future
International Linear Collider (ILC).
Modern high-energy physics projects can not
succeed without very substantial computational and data storage facilities.
Our division takes very active part in development of Grid technologies.
Researchers from our division co-initiated with colleagues from other groups in
Nordic universities the NorduGrid project.
