Indiana University Team Participates in Large Hadron Collider Detector Upgrade
On July 28, 2026, physicists from Indiana University are participating in an international scientific collaboration to install new particle detector components at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, located near Geneva, Switzerland, to enhance scientists' ability to study the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The Large Hadron Collider is currently the world's largest particle accelerator, which helps researchers explore the structure of matter and fundamental interactions by colliding protons at near-light speeds and analyzing the particles produced in the collisions. Indiana University is a member of the ATLAS experiment collaboration, which comprises approximately 245 institutions from over 40 countries, with thousands of scientists...
