Description

The LHC is currently the most powerful hadron accelerator in the world that serves to study the fundamental particles. Our team is part of the international collaboration of physicists and engineers that operates the gigantic ATLAS experience at CERN. This experiment registers the proton or lead ion collisions we next examine in order to address some of the most fundamental issues in today's physics.

Higgs

How does the Higgs boson interact, which we discovered a few years ago? We think that the particle we discover is at the origin of the mass of all elementary particles. But to know if it really behaves as predicted in theory we have to study in detail its properties. If we find out that they are different than expected, we may have the first evidence of new physics in the LHC!

Heavy ions

How did the plasma of quarks and gluons behave, this very dense and hot state of matter that existed shortly after the Big Bang? This plasma, which we are able to recreate by colliding lead ions into colossal energies, has very different properties from normal matter. We can "look" at its interior by examining jets of particles that cross it. It is a unique opportunity to study the subject...

Advanced processing

The collisions occur in the LHC every 25 nanoseconds (40 million times per second). Of these, only very few are interesting for physics studies. In order to be able to analyze and identify interesting collisions in real time we use the most advanced electronic and computer systems. Our group is a leader in the jet picking system, and we are already developing advanced algorithms that will be...
