Experimentalists in high-energy physics are probing at the smallest scales of length to learn about the fundamental nature of elementary particles and the interactions between them. In addition, they are performing precision tests of the standard model and searching for new physics beyond it. The goal of experimental astrophysics is to determine the nature of the universe through observations of radiation reaching the Earth from space. The major programs currently underway at Boston University are:

• L3 Experiment at LEP
• MACRO
• High-Altitude Scientific Balloon Experiments
• The Proton Decay and Neutrino Astrophysics Experiment
• The G-2 Experiment
• The CMD-2 Experiment
• Electron-Positron Collisions
