The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment on the French-Swiss border has set a new world record for energy.
The LHC is an international project, of which several WestGrid researchers are a part of. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. WestGrid makes a significant contribution to the international infrastructure for the analysis of data produced by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
