The ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider
The ATLAS detector is one of two general-purpose detectors that will record the products of collisions of 7 TeV beams of protons at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, beginning in 2007. After many years of R&D and construction, the project is now at the start of the assembly phase, in which sub-detectors built at institutions all over the world are beginning to be integrated into the final detector. In particular, years of work on the Canadian-built components of the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter are now approaching completion. This talk will review the Canadian contributions to ATLAS as well as the status of the detector integration at CERN.
