Particle Physics at the CERN Large Hadron Collider Experimental Particle Physics Group University of Arizona

Our Lab - LHC CERN is located outside Geneva, Switzerland The ring circumference is 18 miles The energy of the LHC is now 8 TeV = 4 TeV + 4 TeV

Our Lab - LHC The experiments are located 100m underground French Alps Lake Geneva Geneva French Jura Mts 4

Our Lab - LHC

Our Detector - ATLAS

Our Detector - ATLAS Fills half a football stadium

Our Experiment – pp Collisions

U. Of Arizona’s Role Physicists Forward Muon (CSC) Electronics Integrated Forward Calorimeters Massive Forward Radiation Shield (~700 Metric Tons)

ATLAS Forward Calorimeter by UA Design and construction

ATLAS CSC (Electronics) by UA

Radiation Shield Design by UA Simulating and designing shielding to protect detectors and electronics

Preparing for the Future of ATLAS at UA Electronics for Micromegas detectors and Liquid Argon calorimeter readout

What Role Does UA Play? Physics and monitoring the ATLAS experiment

Physics at UA Searching for extra spatial dimensions Searching for quark substructure Searching for supersymmetry

Physics at UA Searching for extra spatial dimensions

Physics at UA ? Searching for quark substructure Is there yet another layer?

LHC Physics at UA Searching for supersymmetry escapes detection missing ET

Space, the Final Frontier - LSST Expand this x 5 x 105 EVERY night

Conclusions The experimental particle physics group Is pursuing exciting frontier physics @ CERN Is hyper-active Is engaged in next gen electronics R&D Is cohesive and supportive Is establishing an experimental astrophysics program using the LSST telescope Is looking for a few good students to continue our successes

What is the Higgs Boson and Have We Discovered It Yet?

Hot Off the Press Results We definitely know where the Higgs is NOT hiding And we have a hint (only) as to where it may be found
