ATLAS Research Showcase 2020
If you missed ATLAS Research Showcase 2020 on October 16, catch up here by viewing some of the most ingenious projects shared during the event. Even if you attended, it was impossible to see it all, so there's plenty here to interest you.
The first video featured below includes a short introduction by ATLAS Director Mark D. Gross, followed by a series of fast-paced "lightning talks" that broadly discuss the work of our top researchers. The section that follows links project descriptions to the corresponding demonstration recorded during the showcase. We hope you enjoy and that you join us for our next event. The best way to stay in the loop is to .
