ATLAS@Home/en
Earlier this was a separate project, it is now part of LHC@home ATLAS@home is a particle physics experiment taking place at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, that searches for new particles and processes using head-on collisions of protons of extraordinary high energy. Petabytes of data were recorded, processed and analyzed during the first three years of data taking, leading to up to 300 publications covering all the aspects of the Standard Model of particle physics, including the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. No knowledge of particle physics is required, but for those interested in more details, at the moment we simulate the creation and decay of supersymmetric bosons and fermions, new types of particles that we would love to discover next year, as they would help us to shed light on the dark matter mystery! At least BOINC client 7.2.33 and VirtualBox 4.2.X are needed for the project. Also a x64-Computer with at least 4GB RAM is required, it may require to activate virtualization process in your BIOS. |
