• Tests and extensions of the Standard Model
  • Tevatron Experiment (Fermilab) : D0
  • LHC Experiments (CERN) : ATLAS, CMS
• Neutrino Physics
  • Long Baseline Experiments : T2K, DUNE, HyperK
  • Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decays : Lumineu
  • Reactor Experiment : Nucifer, Double-Chooz
  • Intense Radioactive Source Experiment : CeSOX
• Antimatter and Graviation
  • GBAR

Energetic Content of the Universe

• Astroparticle Physics and the Quest for Dark Matter
  • Direct Search Experiment : Edelweiss
  • Very-High-Energy Neutrinos : Antares
  • Very-High-Energy Gamma Rays : H.E.S.S., CTA      
• Cosmologie : Dark Universe and Large Structures
