CERN's ATLAS experiment releases 65 TB of open data for research
The ATLAS Experiment at CERN has made two years' worth of scientific data available to the public for research purposes. The data include recordings of proton–proton collisions from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at a collision energy of 13 TeV. This is the first time that ATLAS has released data on this scale, and it marks a significant milestone in terms of public access and utilization of LHC data.
ATLAS congratulates its 2023 Thesis Awards winners
The ATLAS collaboration celebrated the achievements of its exceptional PhD students at the recent Thesis Awards ceremony. Established in 2010, the ATLAS Thesis Awards recognise the remarkable contributions made by students to the ATLAS collaboration through their doctoral theses. Students play pivotal roles in the collaboration while gaining invaluable skills crucial to their professional pursuits.
Detectors for a new era of ATLAS physics

Credit: CERN The High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will dramatically increase the rate of collisions in the ATLAS experiment. While offering an opportunity for physicists to explore some of the rarest processes in the universe, the large collision rate brings new challenges—in particular, higher radiation levels and significantly more data.
ATLAS Colouring Book
Everything around us is made up of tiny, elementary particles. In this colouring book, kids can meet all of the particles that scientists have discovered (so far!) and learn about the role they play in our Universe. • Particles are the building blocks of all matter and are responsible for forces. • Scientists use experiments to find and study particles. • There are different types of particles with different functions.
A golden era of exploration: ATLAS highlights from EPS-HEP 2019

One critical new particle discovery. Countless new insights into our universe. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been breaking records since data-taking began in 2010 – and yet, for ATLAS and its fellow LHC experiments, a golden era of exploration is only just beginning.
New open release allows theorists to explore LHC data in a new way
The ATLAS collaboration releases full analysis likelihoods, a first for an LHC experiment 9 January, 2020 | By Katarina Anthony Explore ATLAS open likelihoods on the HEPData platform (Image: CERN) What if you could test a new theory against LHC data? Better yet, what if the expert knowledge needed to do this was captured in a convenient format? This tall order is now on its way from the ATLAS collaboration, with the first open release of full analysis likelihoods from an LHC experiment.
ATLAS Thesis Awards: And the winners are…
With over 5000 members in 181 institutions, contributions to the ATLAS Collaboration can take a variety of forms. Every February, ATLAS celebrates the outstanding work of one particular set of members: its PhD students. Recipients of the 2019 ATLAS Thesis Awards.

Anthony/ATLAS Collaboration) Cirta is a new machine-learning challenge for high-energy physics on Zindi, the Africa-based data-science challenge platform. Launched this autumn at the International Conference on High Energy and Astroparticle Physics (TIC-HEAP), Constantine, Algeria, Cirta challenges participants to provide machine-learning solutions for identifying particles in LHC experiment data.
In conversation with Masaya Ishino, a key player behind ATLAS's successful Run 2

Brice/CERN) “I always do that, get into something and see how far I can go.” ― Richard P. Feynman. Like many physicists, Masaya Ishino was inspired to join the field after reading the works of Richard Feynman as a teenager. Surely, he thought, if I become a physicist, my life will be as fun as Mr. Feynman’s.
In conversation with Zachary Marshall, a leading voice in the search for new physics
Zachary Marshall in CERN's Building 40. (Image: E. Ward/ATLAS Collaboration) Simulation and supersymmetry, two things that have defined Zachary Marshall’s career. Zach is a researcher with Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. He is currently the co-convener of the ATLAS Supersymmetry group, leading the team searching for supersymmetry and all its various manifestations, building on his previous work as convenor of the ATLAS Simulation group.
Broad as a barn
If you were ever puzzled about the fact that the detectors at the Large Hadron Collider record huge datasets despite the tiny probability of two protons colliding, this is for you. Steven Goldfarb and Katarina Anthony connect the dots. Chances are, in four billion years, when the Milky Way collides with Andromeda, our Sun will be just fine. In fact, most likely, none of the hundreds of billions of stars in either galaxy will come into contact1.

ATLAS observes direct evidence of light-by-light scattering
"This is a milestone result: the first direct evidence of light interacting with itself at high energy," says Dan Tovey(University of Sheffield), ATLAS Physics Coordinator.
Beams come knocking on the LHC's door
Over the weekend, proton beams came knocking on the Large Hadron Collider's (LHC) door. Shooting from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and into the two LHC injection lines, the proton beams were stopped just short of entering the accelerator.
ATLAS Colouring Book | ATLAS Experiment at CERN
The ATLAS Experiment Colouring Book is a free-to-download educational book, ideal for kids aged 5-9. It aims to introduce children to the field of High-Energy Physics, as well as the work being carried out by the ATLAS Collaboration. • ATLAS scientists work together to study particles, the basic building blocks of our universe. • ATLAS scientists use a detector to find and identify particles. • The ATLAS Collaboration is diverse. Anyone can be an ATLAS scientist.
Lonely chairs at CERN
When CMS physicist Rebeca Gonzalez Suarez of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, created a Tumblr called “Lonely Chairs at CERN” one year ago, she was not expecting the immediate reaction it garnered. Within days, the blog picked up thousands of followers and had been featured in Gizomodo and The Guardian. “The response inside CERN was very positive, but the response outside CERN was overwhelming,” she says. “I’ve gotten a lot of followers who are really into science and very excited about CERN.
