The New Small Wheel High Voltage Infrastructure Open
The ATLAS Muon Spectrometer is subjected to a series of upgrades in order to face the High Luminosity era of Phase-II. One of the main projects is the New Small Wheel (NSW), which has replaced the existing Small Wheel (SW), and is a perfec…

The Second LHC Long Shutdown (LS2) for the Superconducting Magnets Open
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been delivering data to the physics experiments since 2009. It first operated at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV and 8 TeV up to the first long shutdown (LS1) in 2013-14. The 13 kA splices between the m…

ATLAS Muon DCS Upgrades and Optimizations Open
The Muon subsystem is comprised of four detector types: Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) and Thin Gap Chambers (TGC) for trigger purposes, and Cathode Strip Chambers (CSC) and Muon Drift Tubes (MDT) for muon track reconstruction. The MDTs co…
