Advanced mechanics in High Energy Physics experiments

摘要

Research in High Energy Physics (HEP) is now based on a world-wide collaboration. The challenges of construction of giant instruments of this research, like the Large Hadron Collider, require advances in other domains of science and technology, also including several fields of mechanics. Large HEP laboratories and CERN in particular, rely here on collaboration with a network of external research centers capable of providing such an advanced mechanics expertise. This network includes already some Polish partners; future projects of HEP will require a still wider collaboration in various fields of mechanics. The paper gives an overview of some of these fields, and may be treated as an invitation for broadening this network.
