High Energy Physics deals with the question of what the electrons, protons and neutrons are made of.
The physical interpretation of this approach to electrodynamics is that when a pair of electrons in some initial state scatters so they end up in some final state, they get there via every possible path.
Many people believe that the field of "High Energy Physics" is the same as the field of "Elementary Particle Physics." Note that this belief assumes that there really are elementary particles in the universe: I think that this prejudges the whole question.

 Experimental High-Energy Physics
Due to the large fiducial volume and high sensitivity to minute energy depositions which generate sequences of single photoelectrons in the phototubes, flux limits for Grand Unified Theory magnetic monopoles and for new particles predicted by superstring and supersymmetric theories are expected to greatly exceed any similar search to date.
Conservation of energy in classical physics is expanded in quantum mechanics to allow for the production of evanescent "virtual" particles, which appear and disappear too quickly to allow for their direct measurement.

 Introduction to HEP
Compared to natural processes on earth, like the creation of a lightning or the energy released in a nuclear decay, the energy per particle is many magnitudes higher.
A basic experimental fact in HEP is, that every particle has a `mirror counterpart', called the anti-particle.
In a reaction of a particle and anti-particle both are annihilated and all energy is available to create new particles.
