29.04.2017
Today ATLAS has recorded the first “beam splashes” in 2017.
Beam splashes are created when circulating protons hit collimators in the beam pipe, leaving a spray of particles to cross the ATLAS detector.
If you wanna know more about this first sign of beams/physics this year, please check out the detailed article on the ATLAS web site.
