Computer art of ATLAS detector, CERN
Virtual reality in physics. Computer-generated wire-frame drawing showing 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 (LHC, dark blue pipe at lower left and upper right) and the existing Large Electron- Positron ring (grey and yellow, below LHC pipe). 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer art print showcases the ATLAS particle detector, a remarkable feat of engineering set to be constructed at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory. The intricate wire-frame drawing depicts the ATLAS experiment designed to serve two accelerator rings: the proposed Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the existing Large Electron-Positron ring. The LHC is represented by a dark blue pipe located at both lower left and upper right corners of the image, while the grey and yellow structure below it symbolizes the current electron-positron ring. Crafted using CERN's cutting-edge VENUS virtual reality system, this artwork exemplifies how technology merges with science in modern-day physics research. By employing virtual prototyping techniques, engineers can meticulously examine fit and position before any physical component is manufactured. This process ensures precision in design implementation. The fusion of computer graphics and virtual reality in this image not only highlights its aesthetic appeal but also emphasizes their crucial role in pushing scientific boundaries forward. As we delve into an era where technological advancements are revolutionizing various fields, including particle physics, this artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. Captured by Science Photo Library, this mesmerizing print encapsulates both artistic beauty and scientific innovation while offering a glimpse into humanity's quest for unraveling nature's deepest secrets within CERN's hallowed halls.
