About the US/LHC Project

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland is opening new vistas on the deepest secrets of the universe, stretching the imagination with newly discovered forms of matter, forces of nature, and dimensions of space. This site provides general information about the Large Hadron Collider and detailed information about American participation in the LHC accelerator and experiments. U.S. LHC participation is supported by the US Department of Energy's Office of Science and the National Science Foundation.

Katherine Copic	I am living near CERN, working as an ATLAS postdoc for Columbia University. Before moving to Geneva in 2007, I spent time at Fermilab outside of Chicago, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and at Cornell. I'm enjoying working on the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter, hiking up mountains, and eating lots of cheese in Europe!
