Welcome to the ATLAS Week 2009 Homepage

In autumn 2009 the largest particle accelerator ever built, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva (Switzerland), will restart operation. The collected data is expected to answer fundamental questions on the origin of the universe. From October 5th to October 9th about 400 physicists from the ATLAS Collaboration will meet in Barcelona (Catalonia) to discuss the status of the experiment.

The event is being organized by the Institut de Física d'Altes Energies (IFAE), a member of the ATLAS Collaboration. The venue is the Sehrs Campus Hotel at the campus of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) in Bellaterra (Barcelona).
The UAB campus is situated about 20km outside the city center. There are several possibilities to reach the campus from Barcelona by public transport for those colleagues staying in hotels in the city center. They take roughly 30 minutes. Please see the Transport page for more details.
