Physics and Astronomy Colloquia Series: Building an Olympian: Assembling the Next Generation of the ATLAS Detector for the High Luminosity LHC Era

How do you measure the smallest components of the universe? The ATLAS Experiment, located on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, measures the known building blocks of nature and searches for new ones. This talk discusses the effort to build the next generation of the ATLAS Experiment's innermost particle detector, designed to withstand more simultaneous proton collisions than ever before!
