New physics faculty member Abhisek Datta probes the Higgs Boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

Lorenzo Rose
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland, is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It is used to collide subatomic particles, with the goal of exploring the fundamental interactions in particle physics by studying the data from the experiments. This research is the main focus of Abhisek Datta, an assistant professor in the University of Notre Dame’s Department of Physics and Astronomy who joined the...
