About the center
The aim of SAPHIR is the studies of subatomic physics, focusing on areas related to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the development of cutting-edge technology and transfer to interdisciplinary sectors. Their team is the only physics group in Latin America employed by ATLAS (the largest detector at LHC) to build and fabricate elements for its improvement.
