Abstract
Abstract The study of the basic building blocks of matter and the forces which act between them is a fundamental area of physics. The structures under scrutiny are extraordinarily small, sometimes well below 10−15 m, and in order to perform experiments at this scale probes with correspondingly high spatial resolution are needed. Visible light, with a wavelength λ 500 nm, is wholly inadequate. In- stead, high energy photon or particle beams have proven to be excellent tools, and the results of elementary particle physics would be unimaginable without them. High energy particle beams are thus essential to this field of experimental physics.
