A video from the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, showing how the images we make of subatomic particles have changed over the years

With the Large Hadron Collider running again, my experiment – ATLAS – has just released a nice, restful video showing how the images we make from particle detector technologies have evolved over the years. I thought you might enjoy it.



When there is a collision run actually going on, you can see particle collisions in the ATLAS detector in real time here.
