Research group ATLAS - Accelerator based particle physics

The ATLAS experiment detects the particles created when protons or heavy ions collide at very high energies in CERN's largest accelerator - the Large Hadron Collider, LHC. This is where the Higgs particle was discovered in 2012.

The ATLAS experiment
The ATLAS experiment is running att CERNs largest accelerator - the Large Hadron Collider, LHC.

We are involved in the construction and operation of two parts of the detector - the readout electronics for the hadron calorimeter and the first level calorimeter trigger. We are also involved in the development of algorithms for data analysis, including the identification of bottom quakes, and have a leading role in the measurement of luminosity. Our main research areas are searches for supersymmetry, dark matter and pair production of Higgs bosons, as well as measurements of processes involving top quarks.

The focus now is on understanding how the Standard Model can be extended to explain, among other things, dark matter and the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe.

The researchers are collaborating with Oskar Klein Centre.
