Read article 'Latest ATLAS results with 13 TeV proton–proton collisions at the LHC'
Since the first ATLAS results from LHC Run 2 were presented at this summer’s conferences (EPS-HEP 2015 and LHCP 2015) with an amount of data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approxima...
Read article 'CMS presents new 13 TeV results at end-of-year jamboree'
The first phase of collisions after the LHC restart earlier this year provided CMS with data at the novel energy of 13 TeV, enabling CMS to explore uncharted domains of physics. At the end of this ex...
Read article 'CMS data-scouting and a search for low-mass dijet resonances'
Proton beams crossed inside each of the CMS and ATLAS detectors 20 million times a second during the 2012 LHC proton–proton run. However, the physics programme of CMS is based on only a small subse...
Read article 'Supersymmetry searches: the most comprehensive ATLAS summary to date'
ATLAS has summarised 22 Run 1 searches, using more than 310,000 models to work out where the elusive SUSY particles might be hiding. The first run of the LHC taught us at least two significa...
Read article 'Is the Standard Model about to crater?'
There are now quite a few discrepancies, or “tensions”, between laboratory experiments and the predictions of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. All of them are of the 2...
Read article 'Searches for new phenomena with LHC Run-2'
After demonstrating a good understanding of the detector and observing most of the Standard Model particles using the first data of LHC Run 2 collected in July (CERN Courier September 2015 p8), the A...
Read article 'On the trail of long-lived particles'
When searching for new particles in ATLAS, it is often assumed that they will either decay to observable Standard Model particles at the centre of the detector, or escape undetected, in which case the...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has shattered its own record for producing polarized-proton collisions at 200 GeV
Read article 'Collaboration meets for the first FCC week'
As many as 340 physicists, engineers, science managers and journalists gathered in Washington DC for the first annual meeting of the global Future Circular Collider (FCC) study. The FCC week covered ...
