| PI Contribution | ATLAS is one of the genera-purpose detectors at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Sussex is one of the institute participating in ATLAS, including in view of future experimental upgrades. We are contributing to the design of a tracking level-1 trigger for ATLAS for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). |
| Collaborator Contribution | Collaborators from other ATLAS institutes are also contributing to the design of the upgraded ATLAS trigger for the HL-LHC. |
