Searching this database

Date

find date 1974
This is the date the experiment was proposed.  See below for other searchable dates.

Experiment Name

fin ee FNAL-E-0740
Must be our exact name. Be careful--Common names like D0 won't work here, we use the laboratory's numbering system, or assign our own name. 

Experiment Keywords

fin exp BABAR   fin k Cosmic   fin abs D0
All of these terms search the abstract of the experiment, any keywords assigned, and the title.  In other words, likely places to find the experiment names, as well as descriptions of the project.

• Let us know if an experiment is hard to find this way, we can add keywords.
• A handy way to find all experiments at a lab is
  find exp FNAL
  Since this index looks at our experiment names as well, in pieces.

Try these searches in HEP to find papers by a certain experiment

1. find exp opal
   this exp index breaks our experiment name, CERN-LEP-OPAL, into pieces
   so you can also find exp lep which finds
   CERN-LEP-OPAL, CERN-LEP-DELPHI, CERN-LEP-ALEPH, CERN-LEP-L3. 
2. find ee CERN-LEP-OPAL
   For this you must use our full and exact experiment name
3. find cn D0
   This searches papers that have a collaboration listed as author. The above search finds all FNAL-E-0740 collaboration-authored papers.
