Ready for run 3: Beams back in ATLAS
LHC gets started for run 3: “Beams splashes” seen by ATLAS
28.04.2022
ATLAS has recorded “beam splash” events from the LHC signalling the coming start of run 3.
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 want know more about beams/physics coming up this year, please check out the detailed article on the ATLAS web site.
