International experiment ATLAS-CERN
Project goals
The aim of the project is to ensure financial support for Czech academic and university institutions participating in the research of structure of matter and its basic components using the ATLAS apparatus at LHC (Large Hadron Collider) accelerator in theEuropean centre for particle research CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. In 2008 will be accomplished the construction of the LHC accelerator which will accelerate and collide proton beams of the total energy 14 TeV, which is nearly by one order higher than energy ever reached before. Experiments, which will be performed using these facilities, will provide new and fundamental information about the structure of matter significantly exceeding present frontiers of our knowledge. It will verify theoretical hypothesis about the existence of Higgs boson, the existence of super-symmetric partners to known elementary particles, it will enable to investigate the so-called CP violation in the universe observed by us, etc. Czech researchers participate more than ten

Project results evaluation
In the CERN, 2012 was the year ob substantial rising of the power of the LHC accelerator. Significantly was raised the luminosity of proton beams and their energy achieved 8 TeV. This enabled discovery of a new particle of the mass 125 GeV which demonstrates properties of theoretically predicted Higgs boson which plays a crucial role in particle physics theory.
