2025 ATLAS Masterclass in particle physics data analysis
On Saturday, April 26, Berkeley Lab's Physics Division hosted the 2025 ATLAS Masterclass for students interested in high-energy particle physics. This year, 18 high school students (freshmen through seniors) participated in a program that included presentations and discussions with Berkeley Lab scientists directly involved with the ATLAS experiment, a tour of the physics labs and experimental facilities at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source (ALS), and introductory lessons from volunteer postdocs and graduate students, who coordinated a hands-on group data analysis project using real data from the ATLAS Experiment located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
