Today the ATLAS collaboration at CERN celebrates the lowering of its last large detector element. The ATLAS detector is the world's largest general-purpose particle detector, measuring 46 metres long, ...

Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Since then, it has continued to be heavily ...

The ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is going on tour. Not the real one of course, but a 150 kg wooden replica of the cathedral-sized detector. Technicians at the DESY ...

High-energy neutrinos are extremely rare particles that have so far proved very difficult to detect. Fluxes of these rare particles were first detected by the IceCube Collaboration back in 2013.

A wheel-shaped muon detector is part of an ATLAS particle detector upgrade at CERN. A new study applies "unfolding," or error-correction techniques used for particle detectors, to problems with noise ...

The researchers have been working at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland on the ATLAS project. A visualization of a proton-proton collision in the ATLAS detector ...

ARGONNE, Ill. (Feb 29, 2008) – Today, researchers in the U.S. ATLAS collaboration joined colleagues around the world to celebrate a pivotal landmark in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider ...
