´ó·¢²ÊƱƽ̨ researchers help ATLAS Collaboration share in 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics

Published: 22 April 2025

Twenty-eight ´ó·¢²ÊƱƽ̨ researchers are among the winners of the for their contributions to the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Sometimes referred to as the Oscars of Science, Breakthrough prizes are awarded annually by the foundation of the same name for achievements in life sciences, fundamental physics and mathematics.

The ATLAS Collaboration was recognized for its investigations of the nature and interactions of matter in the universe, using the ATLAS particle detector. This includes characterizing the properties of the Higgs boson, studying matter-antimatter asymmetry and exploring nature under extreme conditions. ATLAS shared the award with its sister experiments at CERN: ALICE, CMS and LHCb.

Physics Professors , and – along with 25 ´ó·¢²ÊƱƽ̨ students and postdoctoral researchers – are among the more than 5,000 researchers honoured for their contributions to the ATLAS Collaboration.
