Tag: ATLAS
ATLAS is one of two general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It investigates a wide range of physics, from the search for the Higgs boson to extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter. The articles below relate to the ATLAS experiment.

Cloudy with a chance of muons
When you want to capture an important moment in your life, you often take a photo. You could write down the key details instead – who you were with, where you were, the time of day – but this information might not be as impactful as a picture of the event. Physicists like to record

Supporting early careers beyond CERN
The CERN Alumni Network aims to provide those who have left the Laboratory with a means of keeping in touch with CERN and with each other. This mission begins at CERN, as the network supports soon-to-be alumni in their transition. Each year, many people transition beyond CERN, often into industry – a move that presents

Smarter decisions at the speed of physics
Smart and fast decision making is key when dealing with the onslaught of collisions at the LHC. At the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the ATLAS and CMS experiments are expected to process detector data at rates corresponding to roughly a quarter of the 2025 global internet traffic. All in real time, as part of the

ATLAS sets record limits on Higgs boson’s self-interaction
The result is based on over 300 inverse femtobarns of proton–proton collision data, which is equivalent to 30 000 trillion collisions

ATLAS acts as a cosmic-ray laboratory
The ATLAS Collaboration reports its first measurement of proton–oxygen collisions at the LHC, which recreate cosmic-ray interactions with Earth’s atmosphere

ATLAS sets strong limits on supersymmetry
Using machine-learning techniques, the ATLAS Collaboration has searched deep for signs of particles that could help answer some of the greatest mysteries of physics

ATLAS 2025 Thesis Awards spotlight the “soul” of the Collaboration
On 19 February 2026, the ATLAS Collaboration gathered for the 2025 Thesis Awards – an annual celebration of the vital role of PhD students within the experiment

Shape-shifting collisions probe secrets of early Universe
The first high-energy collisions between light nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider confirm the unusual “bowling-pin” shape of neon nuclei and offer up a new tool to study the extreme state of matter produced in the aftermath of the Big Bang

ATLAS closes in on rare Higgs decays
The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z boson and a photon.
