DESCRIPTION

M.C. Vetterli; SFU/TRIUMF Simon Fraser ATLASATLAS What do we Measure? In a Nutshell: - Proton-Proton collisions at the highest energy ever achieved in the laboratory - Look at what emerges & infer what happened - Structure & Dynamics Details? Measure the particles coming from the collisions - particle type (electron, proton, muon, jets, …) - direction/momentum - energy Simple in concept; complicated in execution
