ATLAS Uses Proton-Oxygen Collisions to Recreate Cosmic-Ray Showers in the Lab
Key Takeaways
- The LHC ran proton-oxygen collisions for the first time in July 2025
- ATLAS measured charged-particle production to test models used by cosmic-ray observatories
- The data could improve simulations of atmospheric particle showers caused by space-borne high-energy particles
