Summary of new ATLAS results from Moriond 2026
13 March 2026 | By
For particle physicists, March means one thing: Moriond. Every spring, theorists and experimentalists from around the world gather at the Rencontres de Moriond conferences to present their latest results and exchange ideas. The 2026 edition marks the sixtieth anniversary of these meetings, beginning on 15 March with Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories, followed by QCD and High Energy Interactions on 22 March.
This year’s conferences will showcase a rich harvest of new results from the ATLAS Collaboration. In total, 45 ATLAS analyses will debut at Moriond 2026, covering a wide range of topics, from high-precision studies of the top quark and the Higgs boson to record-setting searches for supersymmetry and other new physics phenomena.
The results draw on the powerful datasets collected during both Run 2 (2015–2018) and Run 3 (2022–ongoing) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). With many analyses already exploiting the latest Run 3 data, this year’s Moriond programme highlights the strong momentum of the ATLAS Run-3 analysis campaign.
Several results will be featured in upcoming physics briefings, with more presented in conference talks. Follow the Moriond 2026 tag to keep up with the latest announcements, and explore the full list of new ATLAS results below as it grows throughout the conferences.
