At the
Inter-university Institute for High Energies
or the IIHE (ULB-VUB) we study elementary particles and their interactions.
For that purpose we use large particle accelators like those at
CERN
( Switzerland ) and
DESY
( Germany ), or cosmic rays.
The institute participates in several international experiments:
AMANDA/ICECUBE
,
CHORUS
,
CMS
,
DELPHI
,
H1
and
OPERA
.
The “Dienst voor Elementaire Deeltjes”, which is part of the IIHE, belongs to the
Physics Departement
of the
“Vrije Universiteit Brussel”.
As a spin-off activity our group is involved in the development and construction of medical scanners of the PET and PEM type.
This is done within the framework of the international Crystal-Clear Collaboration of which the spokesperson is member of our group.
