Founded in 1451, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the United Kingdom. As one of the world's top 100 universities, Glasgow welcomes students from over 120 countries.The University of Glasgow is an internationally recognised institution leading research across many disciplines. It provides a flexible learning environment that encourages students and staff to achieve goals. One of its main goals is working with business, industry and the community to add value to Scottish culture and society, the natural environment and the UK economy. Its campus can be found in the west end of the cosmopolitan city of Glasgow.
The experimental particle physics (PPE) group at the University of Glasgow is dedicated to the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and their interaction. These activities are carried out in collaboration with international laboratories, where fundamental physics results are obtained. To further these studies the group is developing future detector technologies for further experimentation and computer grids for analysis of data.
The PPE group is currently working on:
Led by Prof Tony Doyle, PPE Group Leader, Glasgow hosts one of GridPP's largest computer clusters as part of the ScotGrid Tier-2 Centre.
Other Glasgow staff who work on the Grid include:

The PPE group is currently working on:
- Preparations for the CERN Large Hadron Collider
- Developments for future accelerator projects
- High energy collider physics at Fermilab and DESY
- Semiconductor detector technology for Particle Physics and other applications
- Computer Grid developments for LHC
- Phenomenology in the standard model and beyond
- Lattice QCD for flavour physics
