The ATLAS Detector: Status and Results from Cosmic Rays
Abstract
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN has been under construction for more than a decade. It is now largely complete and functional. This paper will describe the state of the major subsystems of ATLAS. Results from the brief single beam running period in 2008 will be shown. In addition, results from a long period of cosmic ray running will be shown. These results show that ATLAS is prepared to make major new physics discoveries as soon as we get colliding beams in late 2009.
