Acronym of ATLAS

( A Toroidal LHC Apparatus ) Atlas (ATLAS) is one of the six detector (ALICE in. ATLAS and. CMS., the TOTEM., the LHCb, and LHCf) are installed in the large hadronic. that in the center of CERN, located on the border between Switzerland and France. ATLAS dimensions 46 m long and 25 m in diameter, and weighs about 7٬000 tons. In this project 2 The 000 scientist and engineers from 165 Institute, 35 country cooperation. This detector in June 2007 ended, but from 10 September 2008 to test was used. The experiments for elementary particles heavy duty is designed based on the theories of the new standard model for particle style doesn't work.

ATLAS collaboration, a group of physics experts, are that the detector have made, and in 1992 when the proposed detector, eagle, EAGLE and ASCOT were formed, they also propose the creation of the detector, respectively. This detector, in 1994, the proposal was given, create it from the year 1995 began.

detector Atlas, the direction of the target is made public. When the protons in the LHC from the center of the detector can pass the ... particles, particles with energy, produced.
