OSU works to upgrade renowned CERN particle detector

In a laboratory deep below the Swiss-French border, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator smashes protons together at nearly the speed of light. A piece of Oklahoma State University sits at the heart of the action. For 20 years, faculty and students from OSU’s College of Arts and Sciences have contributed to ATLAS, a major particle physics experiment on the Large Hadron Collider at the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (European Organization for Nuclear Research).
