Featured Project

Large Hadron Collider Projects

ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland. Starting in late 2009/2010, the ATLAS detector will search for new discoveries in the head-on collisions of protons of extraordinarily high energy. ATLAS will learn about the basic forces that have shaped our Universe since the beginning of time and that will determine its fate. Among the possible unknowns are the origin of mass, extra dimensions of space, unification of fundamental forces, and evidence for dark matter candidates in the Universe. The University of Melbourne has used Pacific Wave to send data flows to/from Taiwan (a Tier1 LHC site) and from the United States and Canada in support of their ATLAS activities.

Belle is an experiment to investigate differences between matter and antimatter. It is hoped that the results from this experiment will help answer some of the big questions such as why there is an imbalance between matter and anti-matter in the universe.

Researchers from Korea, United States of America, Taiwan, China, Russia, Australia, Poland, Austria, Slovenia, India, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany, and Japan collaborate on this research.
