Top HIghlight True Katarina Anthony Thu, 16/07/2026 - 03:19 Highlight False News ATLAS and CMS Collaborations awards ITk Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. was announced as the 2026 Industrial Award winner by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at a dedicated ceremony on 15 July 2026. Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. Representative Director Takayuki Suzuki is presented the Industrial Award by CERN Director of Research and Computing, Gautier Hamel de Monchenault, together with ATLAS Spokesperson Stéphane Willocq. With this award, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations recognise the crucial role Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has played in the development and production of advanced technologies, as well as the ongoing, deeply rooted partnership that has been established with both experiments over many years. Through this close […]

ATLAS records vital low-intensity data during special LHC run Top HIghlight False Katarina Anthony Thu, 07/05/2026 - 09:55 Highlight False News Katarina Anthony Run 3 W boson For three weeks in April 2026, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) did something counterintuitive: it eased off the throttle. Instead of maximising collision rates, the accelerator entered a deliberately quieter operating mode. This shift offered the ATLAS Collaboration a rare opportunity to study fundamental particles in an exceptionally clean experimental environment. In its usual configuration, the LHC is designed for intensity. Every time the proton beams cross, around 60 interactions take place simultaneously. While this is vital for hunting extremely rare processes, it also creates a dense and noisy environment that can obscure more subtle effects. Last month, the LHC significantly reduced the average […]

Summary of new ATLAS results from Moriond 2026 Top HIghlight False Katarina Anthony Fri, 13/03/2026 - 08:57 Highlight False News ATLAS Collaboration Moriond 2026 Moriond For particle physicists, March means one thing: Moriond. Every spring, theorists and experimentalists from around the world gather at the Rencontres de Moriond conferences to present their latest results and exchange ideas. The 2026 edition marks the sixtieth anniversary of these meetings, beginning on 15 March with Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories, followed by QCD and High Energy Interactions on 22 March. This year’s conferences will showcase a rich harvest of new results from the ATLAS Collaboration. In total, 45 ATLAS analyses will make their major conference debut, spanning a wide range of topics, from high-precision studies of the top quark and the Higgs boson to record-setting […]

Summary of new ATLAS results from EPS-HEP 2025 Top HIghlight False Edite Prado Felgueiras Sun, 06/07/2025 - 14:00 Highlight False News ATLAS Collaboration physics results EPS EPS 2025 As summer arrives and the Mediterranean sun lights up Marseille, the particle physics community gets ready for one of the season’s key highlights: the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP). From 7 to 11 July, hundreds of researchers will gather by the sea to share the latest breakthroughs in understanding the fundamental building blocks of our Universe. The ATLAS Collaboration will be making waves at EPS-HEP 2025, unveiling a wide range of new results. These include new insights into the Standard Model and bold searches for new physics — all powered by the LHC Run-2 (2015–2018) and the ever-growing Run-3 (2022–present) datasets. Key […]
