WHAT SETS PARTICLE PHYSICS AT MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY APART?
We are one of the largest particle physics groups in the UK with more than 100 members. Theorists, experimentalists and accelerator physicists collaborate very closely in our group, for example by jointly supervising Ph.D. projects. Particle physics in Manchester has a long tradition: Exactly 100 years ago, in 1909, Geiger, Marsden and Rutherford discovered the nucleus at the University of Manchester in the gold foil experiment.
