Comment by ATLAS Experiment at CERN

Human avatar
Official CERN experiment page that posted 2026 updates comparing LHC work with naturally occurring cosmic-ray events.
Scientists from the ATLAS Collaboration are now recreating cosmic ray events at the Large Hadron Collider by colliding protons with oxygen ions for the very first time. This new approach turns ATLAS into a cosmic-ray laboratory.
