Find US HEP Research Groups | Best Experimental High Energy Physics

[orthodoxx]

Where to go to study experimental high energy physics in the US? What are the best groups working on experiment HEP to join with?

I don't think you can identify "best" groups. Experimental HEP is done in collaborations, so you can see which experiment you want to join, and then find a group you like within that collaboration.
The US has a strong contribution to ATLAS and CMS (nearly no LHCb for some reason), for example, in some neutrino experiments, in the ILC and various other projects.

I don't think you can identify "best" groups ...

so you are saying that it doesn't depend on which school I will attend?

What is "it"?

Oh, and there is the additional choice of a supervisor within a group, of course. And I don't even know about which level of education you are asking. Starting a PhD and starting a BSc is quite different.
