Inside LHC - Atlas detector

LHC is a particall colider. But to get data we also need a detector which will corectly detect what happened in the collusion. This detector is named ATLAS. In the video below you can see a simple animation that shows how it looks and how it is constructed.

Episode 1 - A new Hope



Episode 2 - The Particles Strike Back (Part 1)



Episode 3 - The Particles Strike Back (Part 2)




The next video is very short - but is shows very well the scale of LHC. Usually when we hear about such large constructions we cannot visualize them well. This video should make it easier.
