LHC/CERN

The ATLAS Collaboration currently brings together about 3000 researchers from 174 universities and laboratories in 38 countries. Professor Dr. Maria Aline Barros do Vale and Professor Fernando Marroquim are representatives (“team leader”) of UFSJ to ATLAS/CERN. This international agreement will also be shared by the other institutions participating in the Master’s program in broad association. The participation of Brazilian institutions in this experiment, which is considered one of the largest ever performed, has the potential to attract a large number of graduate students interested in research at the frontier of physics, electronics and informatics. This collaboration offers conditions for post-graduate internships at CERN, which can efficiently take advantage of the Science without Borders program.
