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.

First lead-ion collisions in the LHC at record energy
On Friday, 18 November, a test using collisions of lead ions was carried out in the LHC and provided an opportunity for the experiments to validate the new detectors and new data-processing systems ahead of next year’s lead-lead physics run.

ATLAS measures Higgs boson’s decay width
The decay width is linked to the particle’s lifetime and if found to deviate from its predicted value could indicate the presence of new physics

ATLAS and CMS release results of most comprehensive studies yet of Higgs boson’s properties
The collaborations have used the largest samples of proton–proton collision data recorded so far by the experiments to study the unique particle in unprecedented detail
-
The Higgs boson, ten years after its discovery
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider and the progress made since then, have allowed physicists to make tremendous steps forward in our understanding of the universe

LHC Run 3: physics at record energy starts tomorrow
The Large Hadron Collider is ready to once again start delivering proton collisions to experiments, this time at an unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV, marking the start of the accelerator’s third run of data taking for physics

Searching for matter–antimatter asymmetry with the Higgs boson
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have searched for matter–antimatter asymmetry in the interaction between the Higgs boson and the tau lepton
