Research topics
The Lundbeck ATLAS group is part of the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which collides protons at extreme energies in order to uncover the basic Laws of Nature, which shaped the Universe. On the 30th of March 2010 LHC attained collision energies of 7 TeV, the highest ever, and will over the next two decades define a new era in particle physics. Two of the major tasks before us are the question of the existence of the Higgs boson, which is the "final" piece in the current puzzle, and the search for other new particles, which account for the Dark Matter observed in the Universe. With the LHC the Higgs particle will either be found or excluded, and the search for Dark Matter - considered one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century physics - has begun.
The Lundbeck ATLAS group takes active part in both of these tasks.
