Expérience CMS au LHC: recherche du boson de Higgs

Study of ep interactions at HERA-DESY (H1 experiment)

Properties of the lepton-quark interaction : tests of QCD; structure functions; diffractive interactions; photoproduction; search for new particles. Construction of a multiwire proportional chamber for the central tracker and of a proton spectrometer for the H1 detector.
