The ATLAS experiment is the largest particle detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest atom smasher. The ATLAS experiment (short for "A Toroidal LHC Apparatus") detects the tiny ...

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.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its associated experiments undergo an annual, multi-week reset and calibration procedure following a winter hibernation period, essential for accurate data ...

More than 300 feet underground, outside Geneva, Switzerland, trillions and trillions of subatomic particles streak around a massive man-made track at nearly the speed of light. As the particles ...

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 ...

The ATLAS collaboration is one of the biggest scientific projects ever, with more than 5,500 members across 40 countries. Just days after Ireland confirmed its associate membership of the European ...

UC Davis students have built a demonstration prototype for a dark matter detector and installed it at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland. If the demonstration is succesful it could lead to ...
