The
McGill University
High Energy
Physics
groups study a broad range of interactions and phenomena in particle
physics.
The ATLAS experimental group at McGill has positions available for
graduate studies (M.Sc. and/or Ph.D.) and would strongly encourage
all interested to apply to the
Faculty of Graduate Studies and
Research for information on admission at the University.
Please first consult the
Graduate Program Information
of the Department of Physics
for all the details.
The ATLAS
experiment at the particle accelerator
LHC is located at the
reseach center CERN in Geneva,
Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider will collide & TeV protons
on 7 TeV protons and thus offers a tremendous window opportunity into
exploring high energy phenomena, pushing the Standard Model and
unraveling the origin of masses.
ATLAS is an international collaboration of close to 2000 physicists
from 150 intitutes and 34 countries.
The first data taking is officially expected to start in May 2008.
The McGill group in ATLAS is strongly committed in the design and
development of the High Level Trigger, which will regulate the
data taking and optimize it for its physics content.
