The ATLAS Experiment
ATLAS is a collaboration of about 3,000 scientists plus a similar number of engineers, technicians, and students. It takes data from the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN laboratory in Geneva Switzerland. The ATLAS experiment studies the collision of protons traveling at 99.999999% of the speed of light using the largest volume detector ever constructed for a particle collider.
Physicists, students, and engineers from Indiana University have participated in ATLAS since 1994.
