This page shows pictures of proton collisions directly from the ATLAS experiment. When the ATLAS detector is recording data, the page will automatically refresh to show the latest collision event. Otherwise, recently recorded events are shown.
Pausing a specific picture or changing the update frequency is possible using the following keys:
| Key | Function |
|---|---|
| + | Increase delay between updates |
| - | Decrease delay between updates |
| <space> | Pause/resume updates |
| H | Display this help message |
A detailed explanation of the data shown in these pictures and how to interpret them can be found at http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking/2010/03/18/atlas-event-display-decoded/.
Members of the ATLAS collaboration can also visit https://atlas-live.cern.ch/ (authentication required). The collaboration website is aimed specifically at expert physicists who want to monitor the latest events remotely. It provides a larger selection of events and more technical displays.
