Summary
The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) records particle interactions in proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV, the highest collision energies mankind has ever produced. The aims are to confirm present theories of particle physics, the so-called Standard Model, and to search for new phenomena. The search for the Higgs-Boson, the only particle of the Standard Model not yet observed, has started. With the data taken this year and next year it might well be possible to discover the Higgs-Boson.
