Can I Easily Understand Current HEP Research Without an Academic Background?

[med17k]

Hi , I want to be able to read and comprehend easily Current research on HEP ( High energy Physics ) . I 'm quite familiar with quantum field theory and I'm Currently learning General Relativity . But I think there is a big gap of knowledge that exist preventing me from this . I also want to make my own contributions .My problem is that I'm not affliated with a physics academic department . How can I easily comprehend research papers? Any advice ?

Try looking for a review paper. There are also some textbooks that you can get on Amazon that are basically compiled sets of papers.

One other thing is to specialize.
