ATLAS Experiment
ATLAS is the largest general-purpose particle detector experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland. The experiment is designed to take advantage of the unprecedented energy available at the LHC and observe phenomena that involve highly massive particles which were not observable using earlier lower-energy accelerators. ATLAS was one of the two LHC experiments involved in the discovery of the Higgs boson in July 2012. It was also designed to search for evidence of theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment is a collaboration involving 6,003 members, out of which 3,822 are physicists (last update: June 26, 2022) from 257 institutions in 42 countries. History Particle accelerator growth The first cyclotron, an early type of particle accelerator, was built by Ernest O. Lawrence in 1931, with a radius of just a few centimetres and a particle energy o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Journal Of Instrumentation
The ''Journal of Instrumentation'' is an online Peer review, peer-reviewed scientific journal. It is published by IOP Publishing on behalf of the International School for Advanced Studies. The journal covers concept and instrumentation in topic areas related to, and including Accelerator physics, detector and accelerator science, including related theory, numerical simulation, simulations, computer modelling, modelling, and particle accelerator, experimental methods. Abstracting and indexing The journal is abstracted and indexed in: * Scopus * Inspec * Chemical Abstracts Service * INIS Atomindex * NASA Astrophysics Data System * Science Citation Index * Materials Science Citation Index According to the ''Journal Citation Reports'', the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 1.415.
