Elementary Particle and Astroparticle Physics Research

 AMANDA/IceCube:
Amanda
A neutrino telescope in the ice cap at the South Pole. The purpose is to detect high energy neutrinos from cosmic processes, and to measure their energies and directions. An outstanding issue is the nature of the dark matter. 
Contact person: Olga Botner, Allan Hallgren
ATLAS and D0:
ATLAS
New fundamental particles, like the Higgs boson and Supersymmetric particles, are currently searched for in the D0 experiment at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab in Chicago and - from 2007 - in the ATLAS experiment currently in preparation at the future LHC collider at CERN in Geneva. Outstanding research issues are the origin of mass and the breaking of symmetry in nature. IKP contributes to the ATLAS detector with Silicon microstrip modules and Detector control systems and in the D0 and ATLAS data analysis with studies of the top quark and charged Higgs searches.

Theoretical High Energy Physics:
Theory
Phenomenology of quarks and leptons and their fundamental strong and electroweak interactions as described in quantum field theories by the exchange of gluons and photon, W, Z, respectively. Our speciality is computer simulation of high energy particle physics processes, mainly in collider experiments but also in particle astrophysics.

 Accelerator Physics:
CLIC
We are participating in the design of the 3 TeV compact linear collider CLIC and the CLIC test facility CTF3 at CERN in Geneva where we construct the two-beam test-stand to investigate the RF-structures for CLIC. Moreover we are working on advanced beam instrumentation for CLIC. At DESY in Hamburg we participate in the design of the X-ray free electron laser X-FEL, where we construct and commission the optical replica synthesizer to measure femto-second electron bunches.

Computing and SweGrid:
SweGrid
The rapid increase in the need for compute resources in modern science, in particular for the LHC experimental program at CERN, has led to the development of the Computer Grid, a geographically distributed network of large commodity computer clusters. IKP has a leading role in the build-up and use of the first national data grid test-bed SweGrid with nodes at the six Swedish computer centers.
