ATLAS (Particle Physics Experiment)

ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) is one of the largest particle physics experiments, located at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. It studies high-energy collisions of protons in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to explore fundamental particles and forces in the universe. ATLAS is designed to detect a wide range of particles, including the Higgs boson, which gives mass to other particles. By analyzing the results of these collisions, scientists aim to deepen our understanding of the universe's basic components and the laws governing them, exploring questions about matter, energy, and the origins of the universe.
