Description

This paper presents the state of the researchs carried out with accelerators as also the main results obtained until now. The passive experiences carried out in underground laboratories allow to go through the limits of the field explored by accelerators. Besides the experiences developed to measure the proton life-time, the underground laboratories have an evident interest to study neutrino physics. More, the development of a ''neutrino astronomy'' would be a fascinating manner of exploring the Universe

Abstract (French)

Cet article commence par dresser un bilan des recherches menees aupres des accelerateurs ainsi que des principaux resultats acquis jusqu'a present. Les experiences passives menees dans les laboratoires souterrains permettent de franchir les limites du domaine explorable avec les accelerateurs. Outre les experiences menees pour mesurer la duree de vie du proton, les laboratoires souterrains offrent un interet evident pour etudier la physique des neutrinos. De plus le developpement d'une ''astronomie neutrinienne'' constituerait une maniere fascinante d'explorer l'Univers
