ATLAS is one of the four major experiments at the LHC, designed to exploit the full discovery potential and the huge range of physics opportunities that the LHC provides. The LIP Portuguese group was a founding member of the ATLAS Collaboration and has made important contributions to the detector, trigger and data acquisition system design, construction and commissioning. The most important of these were in the TileCal hadronic calorimeter, the forward detectors, and the jet trigger software. Since the beginning of LHC operations we have contributed to detector operation, performance studies, and to physics analysis. In addition, we are involved in the detector upgrades for running in the higher luminosity phases, with responsibilities in the TileCal and Trigger systems.
We were part of the Higgs boson discovery and are now measuring its properties. We are a reference in top quark physics studies and have exploited this expertise to lead several searches for new physics. We have made important contributions to the ATLAS heavy ion physics programme with the study of jets as probes of the quark-gluon plasma.
