Higgs Boson Sheet Type Fact On 4 July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS experiments announced the observation of a new particle with a mass around 125 GeV: the Higgs boson. English Italian Spanish German French Chinese Portuguese Dutch Listing Priority 8
Trigger & Data Acquisition Sheet Type Fact The Trigger and Data Acquisition system ensures optimal data-taking conditions and selects the most interesting collision events for study. English Italian German Portuguese Dutch Listing Priority 6
Software & Computing Infrastructure Sheet Type Fact The ATLAS software and computing system processes and stores the vast amounts of collision data collected by the detector. English Italian German Portuguese Dutch Listing Priority 7
The ATLAS Collaboration Sheet Type Fact The ATLAS Collaboration is one of the largest scientific collaborations, composed of around 5700 physicists, engineers, technicians, students and administrators. English Spanish French Italian German Portuguese Greek Dutch Listing Priority 0
Detector Overview Sheet Type Fact ATLAS is the largest detector ever constructed for a particle collider: 46 metres long and 25 metres in diameter. English Spanish French Italian German Portuguese Greek Dutch Listing Priority 1
Inner Detector Sheet Type Fact The Inner Detector is the innermost part of ATLAS to see the decay products of the collisions, so it is very compact and highly sensitive. English Spanish French Italian German Portuguese Dutch Listing Priority 2
Calorimeters Sheet Type Fact Calorimeters measure the energy of particles created in high-energy LHC collisions. English Spanish French Italian German Portuguese Dutch Listing Priority 3
Muon Spectrometer Sheet Type Fact The outer layer of the ATLAS experiment is made of muon detectors. They identify and measure the momenta of muons. English Spanish French Italian German Portuguese Dutch Listing Priority 4
Magnet System Sheet Type Fact ATLAS uses two different types of superconducting magnet systems – solenoid and toroids. English Spanish French Italian German Portuguese Dutch Listing Priority 5
Technology Transfer Sheet Type Fact Many cutting-edge technologies developed for the ATLAS Experiment have found new applications in other fields. English Spanish French Italian German Portuguese Dutch Listing Priority 9
