Z' and Excited Lepton Searches updated with 5/fb |
06 March 2012 |
The Z' and excited lepton analyses are among the first ATLAS Beyond the Standard Model searches that have been updated to the full 2011 dataset of 5/fb and are being shown at the ongoing winter conferences. We now exclude a Z' (Sequential Standard Model) below 2.21 TeV and Randall-Sundrum Gravitons below 2.16 TeV. All excited electron and muon hypotheses are excluded below 2 TeV. These represent the most stringent limits to date. For more information see the ATLAS public Z' page and the excited lepton page. |

LHC to run at 8 TeV in 2012 |
13 February 2012 |
The LHC will run with a beam energy of 4 TeV this year, 0.5 TeV higher than in 2010 and 2011. |

Z' search published in PRL |
31 January 2012 |
The ~1/fb summer result that we submitted to PRL is now published.The reference is: Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 272002 (2011). This analysis sets stringent limits on spin-1 Z' (1.83 TeV) and spin-2 Graviton (1.63 TeV) resonances. The result was also featured in last months edition of CERN COURIER, click here. We are working on the next paper with 5/fb, the full 2011 dataset. |

News on SUSY |
27 January 2012 |
SUperSYmmetry is one of the most promising theories for Physics Beyond the Standard Model. The TRIUMF group, in collaboration with the UBC group, has released the result of a search for SUSY in events with at least four leptons and missing transverse momentum. What is data telling us? |

End of 2011 run |
07 December 2011 |
Today is the last day of the 2011 heavy ion run at the LHC; Christmas shutdown starts tomorrow. Looking forward to next year, and even more data! |

2011 Proton run ends on a high note with over 5 fb-1 of data |
31 October 2011 |
ATLAS received its last proton-proton fill of 2011 this weekend. Altogether we took more than five times as much data as we had originally set as the goal for this year. Full story. |

Post-doc position available with TRIUMF ATLAS group |
24 August 2011 |
We are looking for an additional post-doc based either at TRIUMF or at CERN. |

Successful ATLAS thesis defence for TRIUMF student! |
24 August 2011 |
Congratulations to Ewan Hill, who successfully defended his MSc thesis on "A measurement of the Cosmic Muon Flux in ATLAS" yesterday... |

We have our first inverse femtobarn of data from ATLAS! |
15 June 2011 |
Yesterday evening the LHC exceeded 1/fb of delivered luminosity in 2011. The integrated luminosity recorded by ATLAS also exceeds 1/fb including 959/pb in 2011 + 45/pb in 2010, thanks also to a data-taking efficiency of almost 96%. |
