Last week, the ATLAS Collaboration presented new results at the Quark Matter 2025 conference, held in Frankfurt am Main (Germany). From detailed studies of the quark-gluon plasma’s collective motion to new measurements in ultra-peripheral collisions, ATLAS is providing new insight into the fascinating behaviour of heavy-ion collisions and the quark–gluon structure of nuclei.

Last week, at the Rencontres de Moriond conference, the ATLAS Collaboration brought physicists a step closer to understanding the nature of the electroweak symmetry-breaking mechanism.

The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN has been awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for its pioneering studies of the high-energy collisions from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

While the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations remains the LHC's crowning achievement, the ATLAS Collaboration has since produced a wealth of groundbreaking results that continue to reshape particle physics. In this feature article, Andreas Hoecker delves into the remarkable breakthroughs uncovered by ATLAS using Run 2 data.

This weekend, the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN were honoured with the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics by the Breakthrough Prize Foundation. The prize is awarded to the four collaborations, which unite thousands of researchers from more than 70 countries, and concerns the papers authored based on LHC Run-2 data up to July 2024. It was received by the spokespersons who led the collaborations during that time.

The ATLAS Collaboration submitted four documents to the European Strategy Group (ESG), namely, an overview of the extensive ATLAS detector upgrade for the HL-LHC, a summary of the software and computing preparations to address the HL-LHC challenges, a joint update with CMS on HL-LHC physics expectations, and a joint document on prospectives for flavour physics.

Every Spring, all eyes turn to La Thuile (Italy) for the arrival of the annual Recontres de Moriond conferences. Explore the full list of new ATLAS results presented at Moriond.

The ATLAS Collaboration embarks on a new chapter under the leadership of Spokesperson Stéphane Willocq (University of Massachusetts Amherst).

Among the more than 5500 members of the ATLAS Collaboration, PhD students play a vital role in advancing the experiment while pursuing their degrees. Every year, the ATLAS Thesis Awards celebrate their outstanding achievements, recognising the significant impact of their research on physics analyses, detector advancements, and software development.

The ATLAS Collaboration has released its first open data of heavy-ion collisions for research purposes. This dataset features lead-ion (Pb-Pb) collisions at an energy of 5 TeV per nucleon pair, recorded in 2015 as part of the Large Hadron Collider’s second operation period (LHC Run 2). Today’s release is the highest energy heavy-ion collision data ever made publicly available and the first LHC Run 2 heavy-ion open dataset.

In an article published today in Nature, the ATLAS collaboration reports how it succeeded in observing quantum entanglement at the LHC for the first time.

The 16th International Workshop on Boosted Object Phenomenology, Reconstruction, Measurements, and Searches at Colliders (BOOST 2024) kicks off today in Genova (Italy). This year’s edition continues the tradition of bringing together leading experts from both theoretical and experimental backgrounds to discuss latest developments in the study of particle “jets”.

The 2024 International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) kicks off this week in Prague, Czech Republic. For over 70 years, ICHEP has gathered physicists from around the world to share the latest advancements in particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and accelerator science, and to discuss plans for major future facilities.

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 utilisation of LHC data.

On 24 June 2024, during an awards ceremony in CERN’s Main Auditorium, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations paid special recognition to the RD53 Collaboration.

The ATLAS Collaboration held the 7th Outstanding Achievement Awards Ceremony on 20 June 2024. These biennial awards recognize the invaluable technical work performed across the Collaboration in various fields.

In a new analysis from the ATLAS Collaboration, physicists merged five di-Higgs studies of LHC Run 2 data. By combining the power of all these decay channels, researchers achieved the most sensitive probe of di-Higgs production and the Higgs self-coupling.

Julia Gonski explains the long-established use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in high-energy physics research and explores the exciting potential these technologies hold for the field.

The twelfth annual conference on Large Hadron Collider physics (LHCP 2024) kicks off today in Boston, USA. This week-long event will feature a detailed review of the latest experimental and theoretical results in collider physics, including several final studies of the LHC Run-2 dataset (collected in 2015-2018) and discussions on future research directions for the high-energy particle-physics community.

The ATLAS Collaboration mourns the passing of renowned physicist Peter Higgs, whose theoretical work on elucidating the fundamental spontaneous symmetry-breaking mechanism by which elementary particles acquire mass reshaped our understanding of the Universe.

This year, the start of Spring marks the beginning of the conference season for particle physicists! All eyes turn to La Thuile, Italy, where the annual Recontres de Moriond conferences will be held.

The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN welcomes a new member to its management team. Martin Aleksa (CERN) joins as Technical Coordinator for the experiment, picking up the torch from Ludovico Pontecorvo (CERN).

The ATLAS Collaboration celebrated the achievements of its exceptional PhD students at the recent Thesis Awards ceremony. Established in 2010, the ATLAS Thesis Awards recognize the remarkable contributions made by students to the ATLAS Collaboration through their doctoral theses.

As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the observation of neutral currents and the 40th anniversary of the W/Z boson discovery, we take a look back on the 13 years of ATLAS research into the weak force.
