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!

New Particle Search at CERN

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.
