Welcome! This project recently migrated onto Zooniverse’s new architecture. For details, see here.

New Particle Search at CERN

Help the ATLAS scientists look for signs of massive, long-lived particles produced in the Large Hadron Collider, which could be a sign of new physics!

このプロジェクトについて
始めましょう!

The project consists of three stages. We strongly recommend you take part in them in order.
In Stage 1, you will identify Displaced Vertices, which are the signatures of long-lived particles.
In Stage 2, you will identify the signatures of known particles (electrons, muons, photons) in the ATLAS detector.
In Stage 3 you will: a) search for Higgs boson decays to a pair of photons and b) look for long-lived particles decaying far from the beam collision point.

NOTE: In stages 2 and 3 you will be directed to an external online tool called HYPATIA. It is run by the research team of this project and is not hosted on Zooniverse.

    Eager to find out if non-trivial identification tasks are easier performed by human eye rather than by a complex computer algorithm.

    New Particle Search at CERN について

    You have the opportunity to contribute to the search for undiscovered particles, which are produced from the collisions of high-energy protons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s most powerful particle accelerator.

    While the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012, after about 40 years of intense experimental and theoretical research, and was the last missing component of our present model of particle physics, there are still many unanswered questions and even more theories that try to answer them. Through the visual study of proton-collision events at the LHC, you will learn data analysis skills, support the optimisation of the detectors, and help develop new knowledge in the structure of matter.

    This project has been created by researchers of the ATLAS experiment collaboration, who are actively studying the Higgs boson and searching for yet-undiscovered particles. The data you will study, come from the collisions of proton beams in the LHC, and have been recorded by the ATLAS detector.


    This project is part of REINFORCE (Research Infrastructures FOR Citizens in Europe).

    REINFORCE aims to:

    engage citizens in the contribution to online frontier science, create an active community of citizen participants in scientific endeavours, introduce responsible research and innovation into the citizen science landscape, assess the impact of citizen science in science and society, create a citizen science project policy roadmap for other large-scale research infrastructures, and explore the potential of frontier citizen science for inclusion and diversity.

    4 REINFORCE projects are available in Zooniverse:

    GWitchHunters
    New Particle Search at CERN
    Cosmic Muon Images
    Deep Sea Explorers
