A startlingly beautiful image that has just been published was inspired by an algorithm proposed by theorists from the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford in 2018.

After more than 10 years of research and development, an upgraded tracker that is fundamental to the ATLAS experiment, is moving to production marking a major milestone for the collaboration.

Collision: Stories from the Science of CERN brings together 13 physicists from CERN, including Dr Daniel Cervenkov, with award-winning writers and authors

Dr Maria Mironova was one of eight PhD students to be recognised with a 2022 ATLAS Collaboration Thesis Award.

The Department of Physics and Mathematical Institute will benefit from STFC's £20 million investment in theoretical physics.

Big Data: ATLAS is recruiting schools and colleges now offering students the opportunity to work with research data direct from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

We work among extraordinary people doing extraordinary things; get to know some of them by reading these quick-fire interviews.

Ten years ago, on 4 July 2012, particle physicists at CERN announced they had independently observed a new particle: the Higgs boson. Oxford researchers were key contributors to the discovery and have continued to play a leading role since.

Ian Shipsey, Henry Moseley Centenary Professor of Experimental Physics and Head of Department, has been elected Fellow of the Royal Society for his work in experimental particle physics.

A team of scientists have performed the world's most precise measurement of the mass of the force-carrying W boson, which is responsible for nuclear decay and fusion reactions in the sun.
