ATLAS-PHOTO-2016-009-4  -  Small, Medium, Large, Original
One of the early collision events with stable beams recorded by ATLAS on 23 April 2016. The picture shows the region where the two beams from the LHC collide, at the very inner core of the ATLAS detector. In this event the colliding protons give birth to ten primary interactions, as shown in the picture. The picture shows the beam pipe (in grey) surrounded by the first layers of the Pixel detector (in blue). The white spheres locate the primary vertices, where the interactions between the colliding particles happened. The reconstructed tracks of the particles produced in those interactions and with transverse momentum above 1GeV are drawn in yellow.

One of the early collision events with stable beams recorded by ATLAS on 23 April 2016, with two reconstructed muon candidates. The trajectories of the two muons are shown in red. The bottom right picture is a zoom-in of the middle endcap MDT and TGC stations traversed by the muons; green crosses represent the TGC measurements, while the red tubes and the red circles represent, respectively, the hit MDT tubes and the associated drift circles recorded.

ATLAS-PHOTO-2016-009-3  -  Small, Medium, Large, Original
One of the early collision events with stable beams recorded by ATLAS on 23 April 2016, with two reconstructed muon candidates. The left picture shows a transverse view of the detector, while the bottom right picture shows a rho-z view. The trajectories of the two muons are shown in green. The top right picture is a zoom-in of the innermost endcap MDT station traversed by the muons and the green circles represent the drift circles recorded by the hit MDT tubes.

ATLAS-PHOTO-2016-009-5  -  Small, Medium, Large, Original
One of the early collision events with stable beams recorded by ATLAS on 23 April 2016. The picture shows the region where the two beams from the LHC collide, at the very inner core of the ATLAS detector. In this event the colliding protons give birth to ten primary interactions, as shown in the picture. The left and bottom right pictures show the standard projections of the detector transverse to the beam line and along the beam line (rho-z view) respectively. The top right picture is a rho-z zoom-in to within a few cm of of the luminus region, showing nine reconstructed p-p collision vertices (white squares) and the hits form the innermost two Pixel layers associated to reconstructed tracks with transverse momentum above 1GeV.
