The ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has taken its first data with colliding beams. The LHC aims to deliver an integrated luminosity of 1 fb-1 in the run period 2010/2011 at luminosities of up to 1032 cm-2 s-1, which requires active rejection of events in the trigger system. The muon system is the largest sub-detector of the ATLAS experiment and has the capability to reconstruct...
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will collide two counter rotating proton beams. The energy stored in each beam is about 350 MJ. If there is a failure in an element of the accelerator, the resulting beam losses could cause damage not only to the machine but also to the experiments. Within the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment (CMS), a beam condition monitor (BCM) is foreseen to monitor fast increments...
