Welcome to the Homepage of the ETP!
The Institute of Experimental Particle Physics (ETP) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) investigates the fundamental puzzles of nature. Research focuses on international projects in elementary particle physics and astroparticle physics. Together with further institutes, we form the center of excellence KCETA.
