Higgs - The quest for the Holy Grail of physics : the Higgs particle

This however would be a lie… The only thing missing (except collisions of course) is a bit of the excitement that we had before, but there is still a lot to do and work goes on as usual. The detector is never 100% done and ready and analyses can always be improved.

No collisions also does not mean no data. Since the detector was (as good as) ready, but there were no collisions, Atlas has performed (more…)
