CIEMAT, created in 1951, is a public research institute active in energy and environment research, as well as in state-of-the-art technology and basic research.

The Particle Physics Group at CIEMAT gave birth to experimental high energy physics in Spain in the 1960's. Currently our group belongs to the Basic Research Department at CIEMAT, and is composed by the Particle Physics Division, the Astroparticle Physics Division and the Scientific Computing Unit..

CIEMAT-FP participates in large international experiments at the forefront of knowledge and technology in Particle and Astroparticle Physics, Cosmology, detector R&D and Scientific Computing. These are the current research lines:
