International Collaboration Information1 #722802 As science progresses, experiments focus on more elusive and complex effects. In the physics of the infinite, this trend leads to increasingly large projects (e.g. accelerators are designed bigger so as to reach higher collision energies) and generates more and more data. The teams who fund, build and use detectors adapt to this shift: they grow, extend beyond national boundaries, and involve a wide range of professions. Their organisation structures are called collaborations. |
