Explore the ATLAS Fact Sheets

Enjoy these free-to-download fact sheet by the ATLAS Collaboration. Explore the ATLAS detector and find more about its components, the software computing infrastructure, and the trigger and data acquisition systems. Find the Easter versions of the Fact Sheets here.

The ATLAS Collaboration

The ATLAS Collaboration is one of the largest scientific collaborations, composed of around 5700 physicists, engineers, technicians, students and administrators.

Download in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Greek
Detector Overview

ATLAS is the largest detector ever constructed for a particle collider: 46 metres long and 25 metres in diameter.

Download in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Greek
The Inner Detector

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.

Download in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese
Calorimeters

Calorimeters measure the energy of particles created in high-energy LHC collisions.

Download in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese
Muon Spectrometer

The outer layer of the ATLAS experiment is made of muon detectors. They identify and measure the momenta of muons.

Download in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese
Magnet System

ATLAS uses two different types of superconducting magnet systems – solenoid and toroids.

Download in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese
Trigger & Data Acquisition

The Trigger and Data Acquisition system ensures optimal data-taking conditions and selects the most interesting collision events for study.

Download in English, Italian, German, Portuguese
Software & Computing Infrastructure

The ATLAS software and computing system processes and stores the vast amounts of collision data collected by the detector.

Download in English, Italian, German, Portuguese
Higgs boson

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.

Download in English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Chinese, Portuguese
Technology Transfer

Many cutting-edge technologies developed for the ATLAS Experiment have found new applications in other fields.

Discover the ATLAS Cheat Sheets

Explore educational physics "cheat sheets" developed by researchers at the ATLAS Collaboration, ideal to help with all those physics terms you want to know more about. With these sheets, you'll explore concepts from the Standard Model to conservation laws.

Conservation Laws

Conservation Laws

These laws govern the reactions we observe in particle physics! Their violation would be a sign of new physics.

Keywords: standard model
Download in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch
Cross Section and Luminosity

Cross Section and Luminosity

This sheet defines cross section and luminosity, presents examples of LHC cross sections, and introduces the method used to determine number of events.

Keywords: cross section, luminosity
Download in English, German, Italian, Dutch
Feynman Diagrams

Feynman Diagrams

A powerful tool to visually represent particle interactions, as well as to conduct elaborate calculations! Learn the basics on how to read Feynman diagrams.

Keywords: higgs boson, LHC
Download in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch
Signal and Background

Signal and Background

This sheet defines signal and background and presents some common strategies for increasing the signal-to-background ratio.

Keywords: standard model, photon, lepton
Download in English, German, Italian, Dutch
Statistical Significance

Statistical Significance

When physicists make statements about whether or not a given process has been observed in the LHC data, they must back up their claim with strong statistical evidence. This is often expressed in terms of standard deviations or the p-value.

Keywords: standard deviation, p-value
Download in English, Italian, German, Dutch
Standard Model

The Standard Model

All fundamental particles classified based on their properties! Deviations to the Standard Model can point the way to new physics.

Keywords: dark matter, standard model, higgs boson, fermion

About the books

Enjoy free-to-download colouring books by the ATLAS Collaboration, ideal for kids (and adults) of all ages! In these books, you'll discover how experiments detect particles, what their properties are, and how scientists are working together to learn more about our Universe.

ATLAS Colouring Book

ATLAS Experiment
Colouring Book

Available in 16 languages, the ATLAS Experiment colouring book introduces kids to the field of High-Energy Physics and the work being carried out by the ATLAS Collaboration.

Learning objectives:

  • ATLAS scientists work together to study particles, the basic building blocks of our universe.

  • ATLAS scientists use a detector to find and identify particles.

  • The ATLAS Collaboration is diverse. Anyone can be an ATLAS scientist.

  • The Standard Model and the Higgs Boson.

ATLAS Colouring Book

Particles of the Universe
Colouring Book

Everything around us is made up of tiny, elementary particles. In this colouring book, kids can meet all of the particles that scientists have discovered (so far!) and learn about the role they play in our Universe.

Learning objectives:

  • Matter is made of tiny elemental particles.

  • Particles are the building blocks of all matter and are responsible for forces.

  • Scientists use experiments to find and study particles.

  • There are different types of particles with different functions.
