Computer artwork of ATLAS detector at CERN
Virtual reality in physics. Computer-generated wire-frame drawing showing a cut-away view of the ATLAS particle detector to be built at the CERN European particle physics laboratory. The ATLAS experiment will service two accelerator rings; the proposed Large Hadron Collider (dark blue pipe) and the existing Large Electron-Positron ring (grey and yellow). A figure (red) is shown in the lower right for scale. This image was made using CERNs VENUS virtual reality system. It is used to check engineering designs for fit and position before any component is actually manufactured; this process is called virtual prototyping. Compare with space-filled version, T490/163

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated wire-frame drawing of the ATLAS particle detector, an integral component of the world-renowned CERN European particle physics laboratory. The image provides a cut-away view, revealing the intricate details and inner workings of this groundbreaking technology. Designed to serve both the proposed Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the existing Large Electron-Positron ring, this state-of-the-art experiment holds immense potential in unraveling the mysteries of our universe. The dark blue pipe represents the LHC while shades of grey and yellow symbolize the electron-positron ring. To provide scale, a figure is depicted in red at the lower right corner, emphasizing just how massive and complex this project truly is. Created using CERN's VENUS virtual reality system, this computer artwork plays a crucial role in ensuring precise engineering designs before any physical manufacturing takes place – an innovative process known as virtual prototyping. The fusion of science, artistry, and advanced computer technology showcased in this image exemplifies humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge through cutting-edge research. As we delve into uncharted territories with virtual reality as our guide, we inch closer to unlocking profound discoveries that will shape our understanding of physics for generations to come.
