 Experimental High-Energy Physics
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.
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.
