ATLAS detector, CERN
ATLAS detector. Composite image of the ATLAS (a torodial LHC apparatus) detector (circular) at CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. The detector will be placed around the large hadron collider (LHC), CERNs highest energy particle accelerator. A computer representation of the proton beams that will flow through the LHC has been added to the photograph. ATLAS is a general- purpose detector designed to measure the broadest possible range of particles and physical processes that could result from the collision of the proton beams at very high energies. A pilot run of the LHC is scheduled for summer 2007

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ATLAS detector, a remarkable composite image of the circular apparatus located at CERN, the renowned European particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. Positioned around the colossal Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which stands as CERN's most powerful particle accelerator, this technological marvel represents a significant milestone in scientific research. The photograph seamlessly integrates a computer-generated representation of proton beams flowing through the LHC, emphasizing its purpose as an instrument for high-energy collisions. Designed to measure an extensive range of particles and physical processes resulting from these collisions at incredibly high energies, ATLAS serves as a versatile and comprehensive detector. As we delve into the 21st century, this cutting-edge equipment plays a pivotal role in unraveling fundamental mysteries about our universe. From understanding cosmological phenomena to exploring the structure of matter on subatomic levels, ATLAS is at the forefront of groundbreaking discoveries within particle physics. With its rounded shape and intricate components meticulously arranged within its circular frame, this image symbolizes both precision and innovation. It represents humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unwavering commitment to pushing scientific boundaries. Scheduled for a pilot run in summer 2007 when this photo was taken by Science Photo Library, it is evident that ATLAS embodies not only Europe's dedication to advancing scientific research but also our collective quest for unlocking nature's deepest secrets.
