The decay width is linked to the particle’s lifetime and if found to deviate from its predicted value could indicate the presence of new physics
Joint-polarisation measurements of the W and Z bosons provide new opportunities to look for physics beyond the Standard Model
The ATLAS collaboration held its sixth Outstanding Achievement Awards ceremony at CERN on 23 June 2022
The Vega supercomputer in Slovenia is the most recent HPC centre to process ATLAS experimental data
The collaboration has tackled challenging supersymmetry scenarios, surpassing long-standing limits set by the LEP collider
With its high statistical significance, the result represents the first observation of electroweak top-quark–photon production
Physicists at the ATLAS experiment are on the hunt for new, long-lived particles to help explain several outstanding mysteries of our Universe
During the Lepton Photon Conference this week, the ATLAS collaboration presented a new paper that describes how partons interact within the proton
The updated version of the ATLAS analysis software will reprocess all ATLAS collision data from Run 2 over the coming months
