NYU Experimental Particle Physics GroupWelcome
The Experimental Particle Physics Group at New York University is thriving! After the termination of the MECO experiment, our group joined the ATLAS experiment. We recently hired a new faculty member, two research assistants, and now have several key roles in the ATLAS experiment. We are also active in the MILAGRO experiment and the LHC upgrade. Please have a look at our group.
First LHC Beam!
On September 10, ATLAS saw its first beam from the LHC. ATLAS saw the first few events from the beam commissioning (not yet true collisions) on that day. You can see some event displays of those first collisions here. The startup of the LHC was going fairly well, until there was an incident on September 19. For more information, see an article in symmetry breaking here. It is expected that the LHC will start back up in early fall of 2009.
