Summary of new ATLAS results from Moriond 2026 Top HIghlight False Katarina Anthony Fri, 13/03/2026 - 08:57 Highlight True 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 debut at Moriond 2026, covering a wide range of topics, from high-precision studies of the top quark and the Higgs boson to record-setting searches for […]

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 […]

ATLAS takes a breath of oxygen Top HIghlight False Katarina Anthony Tue, 01/07/2025 - 10:07 Highlight False News Katarina Anthony heavy ion detector operation light ion Run 3 The ATLAS Experiment at CERN dives into uncharted waters, recording its first-ever collisions of oxygen and neon ions. These are not your typical heavy-ion collisions. Oxygen and neon nuclei are far smaller than lead – the LHC’s usual candidate for ion runs – and offer physicists exciting new opportunities to study the strong force. Though best known for its high-energy proton–proton collisions, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) also collides heavy ions. These ions smash together to create quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a unique state of matter that existed shortly after the Big Bang. In the hot, dense state of the QGP, the strong force – which, in “cold” conditions, holds protons […]

Celebrating the outstanding achievements of the ATLAS Collaboration Top HIghlight False Katarina Anthony Mon, 30/06/2025 - 05:04 Highlight False News Katarina Anthony awards ATLAS collaboration The ATLAS Collaboration celebrated the dedication, ingenuity and collaborative spirit of its members at the 8th Outstanding Achievement Awards. Winners of the ATLAS Outstanding Achievement Awards 2025 (Image: K. Anthony/ATLAS Collaboration). Established in 2014, the Outstanding Achievement Awards honour outstanding contributions made to the collaboration outside the field of physics analysis. They have since become a highlight of the community calendar as a chance to celebrate the vital work that keeps ATLAS running. Starting this year, the awards moved from a biennial to an annual format. “As our community rises to the dual challenge of operating the detector while pushing ahead […]
