Time-lapse clips of the lowering of the first of two ATLAS New Small Wheels on 12 July 2021.
ATLAS Technical Coordinator, Ludovico Pontecorvo, also pays tribute to Stephanie Zimmermann, ATLAS' former New Small Wheel project leader.
Despite being called "small" wheels, these new detectors have a diameter of about ten metres and weigh more than 100 tonnes.
The New Small Wheel project is part of a massive upgrade of the ATLAS experiment in preparation for the High-Luminosity #LHC. This upgrade aims to crank up the collider's luminosity by a factor of ten beyond its design value. The High-Luminosity LHC will generate even more collisions, allowing ATLAS physicists to probe phenomena that are even rarer in nature.

The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN has announced the first observation of “WWW production”: the simultaneous creation of three massive W bosons in high-energy LHC collisions. In this video, ATLAS Physicists Vallary Bhopatkar (Argonne National Lab) and Muhammad Alhroob (University of Oklahoma) explain why this result is so interesting – and describe what physicists can still learn about the W boson, 40 years after its discovery.
