Research into high-energy physics, in both its theoretical and experimental fields, has been and continues to be of the most important advances in the field of physics, and could enable scientists to solve some of the great mysteries of physics, as well as other certain problems that are increasingly important, such as how to achieve clean energy. The importance of such types of research is highlighted in a series of large-scope projects, such as the LHC in Geneva, or those with the aim of achieving nuclear fusion, whether by means of magnetic confinement (such as the ITER project, currently under construction in Cadarache, France), or by the ignition process, through the use of high precision lasers (currently in progress at the National Ignition Facility in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California, USA). But in addition to this, other international projects are highlighting the importance of this field, including ATLAS (an experiment in preparation for what is now a reality, Central Europe’s LHC for Particle Physics, CERN); CDF (based on antiproton-proton collisions, and carried out at the FERMIO National Laboratory in Illinois, USA); K2K in Japan (based on the interactions between neutrinos); MAGIC (an experiment in particle astrophysics being carried out in the Canary Islands), and finally, DearMama, the EU-funded project with the aim of developing a high-resolution digital system and high-contrast x-rays with low doses of radiation.
