The find was made using data from the ATLAS experiment, which last month announced it could have caught the first glimpse of the sought-after Higgs Boson.

He works on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Two of them, the ATLAS experiment and the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), are large, general purpose particle detectors.

ATLAS experiment, for a detailed description of such a detector.

The ATLAS experiment was proposed in its current form in 1994, and officially funded by the CERN member countries in 1995.

The memo, written by four scientists working on the LHC's ATLAS experiment, warned the rate at which this happened was thirty times larger than would have been expected.

Semi-Conductor Tracker, part of the Inner Detector in the ATLAS experiment.

It is a contributing partner to ATLAS experiment, one of the four detectors located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

In a system built for the ATLAS experiment a target of 1 micrometre precision over distances of 1 m is expected to be easily achieved.
