The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded the University of Chicago $1 million on August 1, 2026, to operate and upgrade the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, and to analyze collision data. The award funds instrumentation development and physics analysis work under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), with performance through July 31, 2027, at the University of Chicago's Chicago, Illinois campus. The University of Chicago's group will operate and calibrate the hadronic calorimeter (TileCal) and its upgraded front-end electronics, develop calorimeter-based hardware trigger systems including the Global Feature Extractor and its successor the Global Event Processor, and implement machine-learning algorithms on field-programmable gate arrays to identify boosted hadronic decays. The work prepares for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade. The University of Chicago also trains undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers in advanced electronics, data science, and machine learning, and advances public understanding of science through classroom visits, lectures, hands-on analysis of real collider data by high school students, and a program supporting military veterans preparing for college study in science and engineering.
