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 ...

Deep beneath the Swiss-French border, the Large Hadron Collider unleashes staggering amounts of energy and radiation—enough ...

Monday I started my week with high-energy physicist and University of Pittsburgh research associate Marilena Bandieramonte, who works on the ATLAS experiment, the largest detector at CERN. She ...

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 ...

Back at CERN, George and his colleagues discovered that upgrading parts of the ATLAS detector with micromegas technology would improve their muon-trigger capabilities by rejecting the unneeded ...

The largest single piece of experimental scientific apparatus is CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The LHC's ATLAS detector, one of two that discovered the Higgs boson, has a control building adorned ...

The ATLAS collaboration at CERN today officially unveiled a giant mural depicting the ATLAS particle detector, which is currently collecting data at world's most powerful particle accelerator, the ...

Readioff, who is currently working on the real ATLAS detector at CERN, has also proposed an addition to his model in the form of a representative miniature of the real LHC control center as well ...

The ATLAS detector being installed at CERN. The silver ring resembling a sunflower is one of the two, three-story-tall detectors built by UTA faculty and students and shipped in pieces to Switzerland.

A dark matter detector designed and built by UC Davis undergraduate and graduate students is now undergoing trials at CERN. The device, a demonstration prototype for an experiment called FORMOSA, is ...

ATLAS, one of the two primary detectors at the Large Hadron Collider, began taking data in earnest in March 2010 when the LHC started its first science run. Already, the collaboration has several ...
