This is the official website of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The famous particle physics project, which currently involves roughly 2,000 scientists and engineers at 165 institutions in 35 countries, was designed in hopes it would shed some light on the otherwise rather mysterious new theories in particle physics. Starting this spring, the massive ATLAS detector should begin to carry out experiments that involve head-on collisions of protons of extraordinarily high energy, and according to the scientists, will "learn about the basic forces that have shaped our universe since the beginning of time and that will determine its fate." |
