Anne M. Sickles

Anne M. Sickles is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is a member of the ATLAS and sPHENIX collaborations and has worked on many experimental studies of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultra-relativistic collisions of nuclei. Her present research deals primarily with measurements of jets and their properties in heavy-ion collisions.

Looking inside trillion degree matter with ATLAS at the LHC

Stars, planets, animals, plants, you and me – everything that can be directly observed in our Universe is ordinary matter. But the Universe didn’t always look this way. This ATLAS feature describes the quark-gluon plasma, a unique state of matter that existed shortly after the Big Bang. The nature and properties of this matter are being revealed at CERN’s ATLAS Experiment.
