Research The ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC proton-proton collider focuses on high energy physics, the study of electroweak symmetry breaking, the generation of the fermion masses and the search for dark matter. The main research objectives are the search for the Higgs Boson, Supersymmetry and Standard Model precision measurements.  

The Giessen group is working on the determination of the luminosity for ATLAS using elastic scattering in the forward region. In addition we are involved in an upgrade of forward instrumentation for central diffractive physics.
