New York University is participating in the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC. The group has assumed important responsibilities for detector operation and data analysis and for planning for the upgrade of the detector for future high luminosity operation. These include (1) Responsibility for the Missing Transverse Energy component of the High Level Trigger, used in Supersymmetry searches and other physics studies. This involves studying the impact of triggers on simulated events; designing algorithms and optimizing their efficiency, rejection, speed, and memory usage; and software implementation of the trigger; (2) Participation in the commissioning effort to bring ATLAS on line at CERN, with emphasis on monitoring the trigger, setting up of the ATLAS control room, and preparing for the detector operational states; (3) Laboratory work toward the high luminosity upgrade of the ATLAS tracking detectors; (4) Development of analytical methods for characterizing supersymmetric mass states. NYU's educational outreach effort will focus on high-school level science teaching, through the development of week-long ATLAS Leadership Institutes that will engage teachers and help them bring the excitement of particle physics to the classroom.

纽约大学正在参与欧洲核子研究中心大型强子对撞机的ATLAS实验。 该小组承担了探测器操作和数据分析的重要责任，并负责规划探测器的升级，以便在今后进行高光度操作。 这些包括（1）高电平触发器的缺失横向能量分量的责任，用于超对称搜索和其他物理研究。这包括研究触发器对模拟事件的影响;设计算法并优化其效率、拒绝、速度和内存使用;以及触发器的软件实现;（2）参与使ATLAS在CERN上线的试运行工作，重点是监测触发器、建立ATLAS控制室和为探测器操作状态做准备;（3）对ATLAS跟踪探测器进行高亮度升级的实验室工作;（4）发展表征超对称质量态的分析方法。 纽约大学的教育推广工作将侧重于高中水平的科学教学，通过为期一周的ATLAS领导学院的发展，将吸引教师，并帮助他们把粒子物理学的兴奋到课堂上。
