What do we do?The mission of Nikhef is to study the interactions and structure ofall elementary particles and fields at the smallest distance scaleand the highest attainable energy, & to connect the findings of today’s research in a qualitative and preferably quantitative manner to the fierce processes occurring in the early Universe,13.7 billion years ago.
Two complementary approaches are followed:
• Accelerator-based particle physics Experiments studying interactions in particle
collision processes at particle accelerators, in particular at CERN;• Astroparticle physics
Experiments studying interactions of particles and radiation emanating from the Universe, with the Earth.
Nikhef coordinates and leads most Dutch experimental activitiesin these fields.
