In a portion of one of my supplemental essays, I make reference to statistics regarding the number of colleges that have their own particle physics laboratories. However, I can’t find a resource that provides an actual, solid number. Is there such a resource, or does anyone have a number?
Thanks in advance,
Matrix.
also, forgot to mention, colleges with labs in the United States
Do you mean colleges with particle accelerators?
@Alexandre
Thanks for the help, but that’s not what I’m looking for. I posted this here since I’m applying to Columbia, and by particle physics labs, I meant labs like their Nevis laboratories. Again, thanks anyway.
You probably want to check individual university websites. I would assume that most of the “usual suspects” would have labs that do work in Particle Physics. By usual suspects, I mean:
California Institute of Technology
Cornell University
Harvard University
Johns Hopkins University
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Princeton University
Stanford University
University of California-Berkeley
University of California-Santa Barbara
University of Chicago
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
University of Maryland-College Park
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Texas-Austin
Yale University
Also, several of those universities offer undergraduate students opportunities to do research at CERN in Switzerland over the summer months. You may want to check that out as well.
Happy hunting!

Great stuff, thanks!
