| Description | The ATLAS Upgrade project is developing upgrades to the current ATLAS experiment to allow it to take full advantage of the increased luminosity that will be available when the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is upgraded. The improvements to ATLAS will allow it to measure the properties of the proton-proton collisions and measure the properties of the Higgs boson and search for signatures of new physics processes such as supersymmetry or extra dimensions. The UK contribution to the upgrade builds on the UK expertise that built elements of the current ATLAS experiment. The UK made key contributions though construction of the silicon strip tracking system, the level 1 calorimeter trigger, the high level trigger and computing & software. This work is ongoing with the target of upgrading elements ATLAS in 2020 and upgrading further elements in 2025 in line with the LHC upgrade schedule. The silicon tracking system essentially takes a very high resolution photograph of the products of the collisions of two protons at the Large Hadron Collider. Using this information, scientists can understand the underlying physics and the interactions between fundamental particles. The upgrade project is developing advanced silicon sensors and their associated readout electronics, and mechanical and electrical aspects of the system. The L1 calorimeter trigger takes information from the calorimeter and using FPGAs makes a rapid decision within around 2 microseconds as to whether the information from the calorimeter is consistent with an interesting physics object: electron, photon or jet or is noise. If it is an interesting physics object, the experiment is "triggered" and the data and the readout chain is validated. If the trigger fails to make the correct decision then either good data is lost or bad data is collected. The upgrade of the L1 calorimeter trigger must make similar decisions but in a much more complex environment. This requires more data from the calorimeter and more complex algorithms to be used to make decisions. This requires handling high data rates with mulitlayer PCBs capable of routing data at 10Gbps and upgrading FPGAs. The L1 Track trigger uses the information from the tracker to rapidly reconstruct tracks using associative memories. This information can then combined with the L1 calorimeter trigger to make rapid decisions about whether to readout an event or to reject it. This is a new development within ATLAS as previously that tracker information was not used in the L1 trigger system. It provides an additional factor of 5 when rejecting fake events. The High Level Trigger is similar to the L1 calorimeter trigger. The decisions are taken in a computing farm within a few milliseconds. The high level trigger must be able to cope with an increased input rate of between a factor of 4-10 but not significantly increase the output of the data onto disk for analysis. In addition to having to improve the algorithms, they must be developed using computing architectures and software paradigms. The computing and software of ATLAS must adapt as the detector configuration changes e.g. addition of new elements or changing of elements, and must also take advantage of new computing and software architectures and commercial platforms. This requires upgrading the reconstruction software to produce the physics objects on which the final analysis is based as well as introducing new architectures such as multi-threading. |

| Impact | 812 peer reviewed journals articles (as of January 2019) on results of analysis of ATLAS data, including the discovery of the Higgs boson. Capability and skills development: Around 40PhD students per year many of whom move into industry, commerce and the public sector after graduating. ATLAS PhD students typically acquire very high levels of expertise in areas such as detector development, electronics, software design and big data analytics, and these skills, together with the experience of working in a large international collaboration, make our students highly sought-after by employers in the wider economy as well as within academia. STFC Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) in Data Intensive Science (DIS), in which ATLAS-UK physicists have been playing a leading role over the past two years. Our training of students and PDRAs, through these Centres, directly supports the first two pillars of the government's Industrial Strategy, as well as one of the Eight Great Technologies identified by the government, by helping to prepare the UK workforce for opportunities in the rapidly growing data science driven market sectors. The bespoke training programmes offered by these CDTs has been designed with input from industry partners and these partners are actively involved in the delivery of training. Public engagement: The hugely-positive publicity surrounding the LHC and particularly the discovery of the Higgs boson by ATLAS and CMS in 2012 have demonstrated the general public's great interest in this area. The importance of experiments with the scale and vision of ATLAS in inspiring a scientifically and technologically literate culture seems indisputable. Dissemination is a routine activity for ATLAS-UK physicists. Examples include frequent talks to students at schools across the UK and at events such as the Cheltenham Science Festival, interviews for local, national and international media, social media posts, podcasts, and exhibits at events, such as the Royal Society Summer Exhibition. ATLAS-UK Physicists have been playing a leading role in many Particle Physics Masterclasses organized annually across the UK, including the largest one at RAL with over 700 students per year. A key activity in these Masterclasses is the search for the Higgs boson in ATLAS data, which uses a simplified version of the ATLAS Event Display software developed by ATLAS-UK physicists, and which is used globally. Several episodes of Horizon (BBC2) have focused on ATLAS and featured ATLAS-UK physicists. The resources employed in the outreach activities include the time and enthusiasm of all those involved in the project, be they students, PDRAs, engineers or academics. In addition, we have close relations with the CERN press office and have worked well with STFC staff on this too. There have been many recent visits to CERN by MPs, MSPs and Government Ministers. |
