Sheffield ATLAS Group

ATLAS is the world's largest physics experiment and operates at the 27km Large Hadron Collider (LHC) (the world's largest machine) located at CERN in Geneva. ATLAS is designed to study the fundamental constituents of the Universe with goals including understanding the origin of mass and the nature of dark matter. The ATLAS Collaboration comprises over 2500 members from 169 universities in 37 countries. The Sheffield ATLAS group is active in all aspects of the experiment, from its design and construction through to the analysis of the final data. For more details of our research see here.
