DESY Physics Research Committee
Welcome to the Physics Research Committee (PRC)
The PRC gives advice to the DESY directorate on all matters related to the particle physics programme at DESY.
At present, the experimental particle physics programme is focused on DESY's activities at the LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS (physics, detector upgrades, etc.), on the Belle II experiment, on the R&D and physics studies for future colliders (FTX) and its detectors, and on the ALPS-II, MADMAX and (Baby)IAXO axion experiments, plus the LUXE experiment. The comprehensive theory programme in collider phenomenology, particle cosmology, string theory and lattice field theory is also reviewed by the PRC, as are the activities of the platforms fo detector R&D and scientific computing. The PRC also eventually reviews remaining activities connected to the HERA experiments H1, HERMES and ZEUS.
