Travel in the heart of matter: the Atlas experiment at CERN, pop-up book

This 'pop-up' book, fully illustrated, proposes a travel towards the birth of the universe through Atlas, one of the four particle physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (LHC). The ATLAS detector is searching for new discoveries in the head-on collisions of protons of extraordinarily high energy. ATLAS will learn about the basic forces that have shaped our Universe since the beginning of time and that will determine its fate. Among the possible unknowns are the search for the Higgs boson, the origin of mass, the extra dimensions of space, the unification of fundamental forces, and evidence for dark matter candidates in the Universe
