  BNL Contribution to ATLAS
The machine, dubbed ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS), is one of four facilities to be located at a powerful accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), now under construction near Geneva, in Switzerland.
The LHC, due to begin operation in 2006, consists of two circular vacuum pipes in which protons will travel in opposite directions and collide at nearly the speed of light with a total collision energy of 14 tera-electron volts (TeV), or 14 trillion times the typical energy of an electron.
Brookhaven scientists are making and testing parts of two components of ATLAS: the liquid argon calorimeter, which detects and measures electrons and photons, and the muon detectors, which detect very penetrating particles called muons.

La prise de données au LHC débutera en 2007 et servira notamment à rechercher le boson de Higgs et à tester les modèles décrivant de nouvelles échelles d’énergie, comme la super-symétrie.
Construit par une collaboration de 1 500 scientifiques, ATLAS est composé de plusieurs sous-détecteurs : les détecteurs centraux conçus pour identifier les traces très près du point d’interaction des protons ; le calorimètre électromagnétique permettant d’identifier et de mesurer l’énergie des photons et des électrons ; et le calorimètre hadronique.
Le détecteur ATLAS au LHC permettra de mesurer les caractéristiques du boson de Higgs avec une grande précision, s’il existe, et sera un puissant outil pour la recherche de nouveaux phénomènes.
