ATLAS surpasses LEP limits in search for compressed higgsinos

ATLAS sets new limits on the masses of supersymmetric higgsinos, surpassing results set by the Large Electron–Positron (LEP) collider experiments over 20 years ago. Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a compelling theory that predicts every Standard Model particle has a “super-partner.” Among these are higgsinos, the supersymmetric partners of the Higgs boson. If they exist, higgsinos could … Read more

ATLAS sets record limits on Higgs self-interaction using Run 3 data

One of the biggest open questions in particle physics today is how the Higgs boson interacts with itself. This “self-coupling” plays a pivotal role in determining the shape of the energy potential of the Higgs field, influencing both the early Universe evolution and the mechanism that gives mass to elementary particles. Physicists at the ATLAS … Read more

A transformative leap in physics: ATLAS results from LHC Run 2

The onset of high-energy operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in 2010 heralded a new and transformative era in physics research. A powerful and versatile hadron collider paired with sophisticated particle detectors and worldwide grid computing, all performing beyond expectations, allowed the LHC experiments to chart new frontiers and advance particle physics. … Read more

Displaced but not unnoticed: ATLAS in pursuit of Long-Lived Particles

Despite its wide-ranging success, the Standard Model leaves some of the universe’s deepest mysteries unanswered. What is dark matter? Why does matter dominate over antimatter? Given how no beyond-the-Standard-Model phenomena have yet been observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a question naturally arises: are physicists searching in the right place? Figure 1: The expected … Read more

CERN Physicists Observe Production of Weak Boson Triplets

Physicists with the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have announced the first observation of VVZ production — a rare combination of three massive vector bosons. A three-vector-boson event recorded by ATLAS, with one W boson decaying to an electron and a neutrino, one W boson decaying to a muon and a neutrino, and … Read more
