2023年5月26日 · SLAC scientists contribute significantly to the ATLAS experiment at the world’s most powerful particle collider, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A final envelope check is performed just before the IBL sensors and electronics, a region only 65 cm long, enter into their final home, the inner support tube.

2023年4月19日 · ATLAS first observed the ttW process in 2015 using data collected during the LHC’s Run 1, which took place between 2010 and 2012. Subsequent measurements using a subset of data collected during Run 2 (2015-2018) suggested that ttW was cropping up more than predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics, which physicists use to describe ...

2024年2月22日 · Building the heart of ATLAS. The ATLAS detector tracks and measures particles produced in the LHC’s collisions, but it won’t be able to keep up with the billions of collisions in the HL-LHC. These collisions will pile up on each other, making it more difficult for the detector to pick out events of note.

2021年3月25日 · Areas of research: Physics of the universe; particle physics; LHC physics with the ATLAS Experiment; Higgs boson; advanced accelerator R&D; future electron-positron collider R&D; tracker detectors

2015年6月19日 · ATLAS Experiment Continues Studies of Higgs Boson and Quest for New Physics Research with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has officially resumed: After more than two years of upgrades and tests, the world’s largest particle accelerator at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, began on June 3 to collect data at a new record energy ...

2024年9月10日 · She then continued with graduate studies in the search for new physics at LHC’s ATLAS experiment, earning her PhD from Harvard University. As a postdoc at Columbia University, she continued her work on ATLAS, focusing on detector electronics and using machine learning to detect anomalies in the data that could be evidence of new physics.

Top: the ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider records the debris produced when powerful proton beams collide. This is how scientists study the properties of fundamental particles and forces and try to find new ones. (ATLAS/CERN) Above: SLAC built a crucial detector component for the Heavy Photon Search, an experiment at

2023年5月26日 · Then she spent the summer of 2013 in Switzerland at CERN, home of the LHC. Gonski was working on measurements of the Higgs boson in the aftermath of its discovery by the ATLAS experiment. "CERN was vibrating. People were so excited and passionate," she said. "And I was over the moon. I just fell in love with it." (The nearby skiing helped too ...

2015年1月27日 · In this role, he has spent a large portion of his time at CERN helping to build a new layer of high-speed silicon pixel detectors for the ATLAS experiment. He also works on improving pattern recognition algorithms for finding b quarks in ATLAS data and using these b quarks to study Higgs bosons and search for exotic signatures of new physics.

2023年3月28日 · The Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is a significant contributor to the ATLAS project and to the latest results, which are "very exciting," said Zhi Zheng, a research associate at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory who led the lab's analysis efforts.
