These are two views of the surface portion of the ATLAS facility being constructed at CERN. The actual detector will be approximately 100 m below the surface in the LHC beamline. Inside this large building are two deep service shafts through which detector parts will be lowered.
The image on the left is the view straight up from 60 m below the surface in an existing LEP service shaft at the ATLAS site. The image on the right is inside the main service building under construction for the CMS detector.
These are views of the LEP beamline near the DELPHI detector. The LEP will be replaced by the LHC by 2005.
NA49 is the experiment at CERN which was recently announced to have produced and detected a quark-gluon plasma -- the very stuff of the early universe. On the left is the beamline for NA49; on the right its calorimeter.
