Summary of new ATLAS results from ICHEP 2026
30 July 2026 | By

Every two years, the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) brings together the world's leading theorists and experimentalists to present the latest advances in particle physics. The 2026 edition, hosted in Natal, Brazil, will welcome the global particle physics community from 30 July to 5 August for a week of presentations, discussions and collaboration.
The ATLAS Collaboration will present a portfolio of new results at ICHEP 2026, showcasing the breadth and strength of its research programme. Among them, first observations of polarisation in Z boson pairs and innovative new studies of double Higgs boson processes, as well as the latest searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. These results are based on the extensive datasets collected during both Run 2 (2015–2018) and the recently completed Run 3 (2022–2026) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
Many of these results will be featured in dedicated physics briefings and news pieces. Follow the ICHEP 2026 tag to stay up to date with the latest ATLAS announcements, and explore the full list of new ATLAS results below as it grows during the conference.
