A: I work on the ATLAS experiment, a detector designed to study many different aspects of proton-proton collisions. My role is to ensure that the data acquisition operates smoothly. To record and filter the data from the collisions will require a farm of approximately 2,000 computers with eight central processing units operating harmoniously in union.
A: We are exploring virgin territory. I hope we see something surprising! We could learn something that revolutionizes our understanding of the nature of matter and its interactions.
A: This work helps answer the question: “What is our world made of?” This is a basic question in everyone’s mind.
