Exploring the realm of the smallest particles
Particle physics studies the structure of our world: How did the universe come into existence? Which buildings blocks and forces rule our world? What is the origin of matter, space and time? To unveil the secrets of the microcosm, particle physicists are building highly complex instruments: particle accelerators and detectors that enable them to gaze deeper and deeper into the innermost structure of matter and ever further back to the origin of the universe in the big bang. DESY is one of the world’s leading research centres in this field.
