Hoppesch reports Jet Quenching in Nuclear Oxygen Collisions

This week, only two months after data-taking, NPL graduate student Matthew Hoppesch presented the first ATLAS results from the Oxygen-Oxygen nuclear collision data-taking run that took place over the summer at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland.  Matthew was the lead analyzer, closely collaborating with his faculty advisor Riccardo Longo (University of Torino and adjunct NPL faculty) and NPL group leader for heavy ion physics, Anne Sickles. Matthew was chosen by the ATLAS collaboration to present the new results at the 8th International Conference on the Initial Stages of High-Energy Nuclear Collisions in Taipei, Taiwan. Congratulations, Matthew! Read the ATLAS physics briefing !
