Many laboratories do research in particle and high-energy physics.
Those linked below are the six major high-energy physics labs in the world. The laboratory performs basic research in high-energy and particle physics as well as in the production and application of synchrotron radiation. The organization was founded for research on particle physics, nuclear physics, and material sciences using advanced accelerators and related facilities. The SLAC is a national basic research laboratory, probing the structure of matter at the atomic scale with x rays and at much smaller scales with electron and positron beams.
