FORSCHUNG MIT LEPTON COLLIDERN

DESY and Institut für Experimentalphysik, Universität Hamburg

Welcome to the pages of the group FLC. 
Our main subject of study is the physics
of electron-positron collisions at high energies. 
We are involved in the ILC project and participate in OPAL.

ILC

ECFA Study 

   ILC is a planned electron-positron linear collider, which will operate at energies from 91 GeV up to about 1 TeV range. This machine will allow us to explore a new frontier of high energies in electron-positron collisions, complementary to what is planned at the LHC at CERN. The main physics motivation of this machine is the detailed investigation of the mechanism, by which the electroweak symmetry breaking is realised in nature. The as yet undiscovered HIGGS particle, the TOP quark and the electroweak gauge bosons and their interactions play a central role in this. The detector and the physics at the ILC machines are studied by an international workshop chartered by ECFA to study the physics potential of a 500-1000 GeV linear accelerator.

ECFA Study 
on LC physics and detector
OPAL in collaboration with the Institut für Experimentalphysik, Universität Hamburg, is one of the experiments at the electron-positron collider LEP at CERN. OPAL has been taken data since 1989, first at an energy of 91 GeV, then, since 1995, at increasing energies up to 208 GeV. The main physics done at LEP is the precision investigation of the electroweak gauge bosons, the Z and the W, detailed studies of the standard model of the electroweak and strong interaction and search for the Higgs boson and new phenomena .
