1.   CERN engineers will use a colossal particle detector called Atlas to keep track of data that is collected.

2.   CERN physicists, who generally favor an extension for their existing equipment, met Tuesday to present data from their particle detectors.

3.   More properly called particle detectors or trace detectors, these devices are perhaps best known from their use in airports.

4.   Other agencies like the Customs Service and the Coast Guard also use particle detectors.

5.   Particle detectors at CERN have now picked up the signatures of at least four possible Higgs decays, leading to the current excitement among physicists around the world.

6.   Seven different particle detectors examined the residue of millions of lead collisions for evidence that the quark-gluon matter had in fact been created.

7.   Such explanations are made more likely by the fact that none of the other three particle detectors arrayed around LEP has seen any sign of Higgs events.

8.   Particle detectors, used at CERN for pure scientific research, are now used in hospitals for medical imaging.
