SLAC at the LHC:
The ATLAS Pixel Detector

Stanford/SLAC graduate student Daniel Silverstein (left) and Columbia grad student David Lopez after they brought the entire ATLAS pixel detector to a configured state for the first time. The green images on the screens indicate that the detector is in the proper state. Not pictured, but also involved in the project, are SLAC graduate students David Miller, Bart Butler and researcher Matthias Wittgen. (Click for larger image.)

With the Large Hadron Collider start-up only weeks away, SLAC researchers working on the LHC are feeling the excitement. SLAC has been involved in designing and building the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) detector since mid-2006, when the lab officially joined the collaboration.
