Monte Carlo Simulation

Monte Carlo (MC) methods help ATLAS physicists simulate data by generating theoretical collisions based on both known and theorised physics. We use the simulated data to help us understand the detector’s behaviour, optimise algorithms, and identify new physics.

4-Vectors and Particle Mass

Time and space ­coordinates vary depending on the frame of reference in which a collision event is measured. 4-­vectors are tools that can simplify the transformations between frames of reference.

ATLAS 3D Printed Model

Submitted by Steven Goldfarb on
3d model

Recreate the iconic ATLAS experiment using 3D printing! This 1:100 scale, highly detailed model was designed by physicist Jan Brajer to capture the complexity and beauty of the experiment. Designed for easy printing, with the detector divided into smaller parts each representing individual detector systems.
