Image: the High Granularity Timing Detector and where it will fit within ATLAS. (Credit: ATLAS collaboration) Last week, I travelled to Lyon to give an overview of the status of the ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) upgrade project for the leaders of the IN2P3 (the French particle and nuclear physics institute). For each majorContinue reading “What it takes to build a detector”

Bridging the 8.6km gap between ATLAS and CMS with long-lived particles
This week I had a new result out, a bit of an unusual one. This is not strictly speaking a paper, just a set of plots (you can find the complete set here https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PUBNOTES/ATL-PHYS-PUB-2025-002/)summarising the state of “Hidden Sector” neutral long-lived particle searches. What’s really cool about them is that, for the first time forContinue reading “Bridging the 8.6km gap between ATLAS and CMS with long-lived particles”
