# ATLAS Experiment **Domain:** Particle Physics / Scientific Instrumentation / Distributed Research **Doc Type:** Research Program Node **Maturity:** Developing **Related:** [[CERN]], [[Research Infrastructure]], [[Distributed Intelligence]], [[Recommended Institutions and Signals]] --- ## Definition **ATLAS** is a general-purpose particle-physics experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. Its detector and international collaboration study collisions across questions including the Higgs boson, dark matter candidates and physics beyond established models. ## Corpus Context ATLAS is a useful example of knowledge produced by a human-machine assemblage: no unaided observer can perceive its events, and no single contributor contains the whole experimental system. Detection, calibration, computation and collective interpretation form a [[Co-Creative Substrate|co-creative substrate]]. ## Directory Context This experiment is indexed through [[CERN]] in [[Recommended Institutions and Signals]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [ATLAS Experiment](https://atlas.cern/)
