Canada has been part of the ATLAS collaboration from inception:
Canadian groups built significant parts of the original ATLAS
detector, and have operated it and analyzed the data taken
since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) turned on. To keep up with the further
increases in luminosity that will come from upgrades to the
accelerator, portions of ATLAS must be replaced during two
long shutdowns...
We present a summary of the recent results of searches for supersymmetry and other new phenomena conducted by the ATLAS experiment using 36 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected in 2015 and 2016. Several searches are reported that use various experimental signatures and methods. The results presented include searches for new heavy bosons, vector-like quarks,...
The ATLAS detector recorded approximately 34 fb$^{-1}$ of good quality pp collision data at ⎷s = 13 TeV during 2016. This was made possible due to the excellent LHC performance and the high data-taking efficiency of 92.4% achieved at ATLAS.
There is significant involvement from Canadian institutes in the areas of trigger operations, inner detector performance, muon spectrometer performance and...
During the ATLAS phase 1 upgrade, which will take place beginning in
2019, the muon system will be upgraded to install a New Small Wheel
(NSW) in the forward region in order to improve tracking and trigger
performance at very high luminosities. Canadian groups are
responsible for construction and testing of small thin gap chambers
(sTGC) that will be used in the NSW. The McGill group is...
