Department Name: Physics

Abstract

Please refer to ATLAS-UK Upgrade Proposal submitted to PPRP (September 2012 meeting): "Upgrading the ATLAS Experiment for the Luminosity Frontier at the Large Hadron Collider"

Planned Impact

Description This grant funds an ongoing research programme to investigate and develop upgrades to the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, so that it is equipped to collect much higher data volumes than it can at present. The upgrades being developed with this funding are to the "trigger system" of the experiment, which is tasked with the crucial selection of interesting proton-proton collisions (out of 40 million such collisions ocurring every second), to be analysed later.
Exploitation Route The findings from this grant may eventually result in applications in other areas, such as electronics, algorithms and software.
