Giving #LHC collisions a new shape: New result from the ATLAS Experiment measures "isotropy" of collision events! A lot can happen when you slam two protons together at nearly the speed of light. Inside the proton, the strong force acts between quarks and gluons, generating a diverse array of energy flow patterns. When studying the shape of LHC collision events, ATLAS physicists ask: how similar or different is their energy flow? Find out what new techniques ATLAS physicists are using to study e

Today, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has initiated the test collisions of proton beams for the first time this year. While these are only test collisions, they are an essential step along the way to serious data taking, which is expected to kick off in early May. Find out more: http://cern.ch/go/Q7wm | CERN
