Today the ATLAS collaboration at CERN celebrates the lowering of its last large detector element. The ATLAS detector is the world's largest general-purpose particle detector, measuring 46 metres ...

The ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is going on tour. Not the real one of course, but a 150 kg wooden replica of the cathedral-sized detector. Technicians at the DESY ...

The ATLAS detector is the world’s largest general-purpose particle detector, measuring 46 metres long, 25 metres high and 25 metres wide; it weighs 7000 tonnes and consists of 100 million ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory led the development of the 32 muon detectors in the inner ring of the wheels, working with Stony Brook University, the University of Arizona, and the University of ...

A wheel-shaped muon detector is part of an ATLAS particle detector upgrade at CERN. A new study applies "unfolding," or error-correction techniques used for particle detectors, to problems with ...

Back at CERN, George and his colleagues discovered that upgrading parts of the ATLAS detector with micromegas technology would improve their muon-trigger capabilities by rejecting the unneeded ...

The ATLAS experiment is one of two general-purpose detectors located on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Unlike its sister experiment, the dense and compact CMS detector, the ATLAS detector has an ...
