The LHC physics program is the highest priority of the US High Energy Physics program. US physicists are major contributors to the construction of the experiment and will be major contributors to the physics program. This program will address some of the most important questions in the field, among them: the origin of mass; the nature of spacetime; the nature of dark matter. It is essential that the LHC physicists be prepared to analyze the data once the LHC accelerator starts in 2008. The First ATLAS Workshop of the Americas to be held in Aug, 2007 is a key event that will bring together physicists from the Americas to exchange ideas and prepare for the onset of data.High Energy physics has long been an international activity. This program will provide partial support for South American scientists on the ATLAS experiment to participate in the First ATLAS Workshop of the Americas, to be held at SLAC in August 2007. The meeting will focus on the tools, techniques, and infrastructure needed to extract physics results from the early LHC running.

LHC物理计划是美国高能物理计划的最高优先级。美国物理学家是实验建设的主要贡献者，也将是物理计划的主要贡献者。该计划将解决该领域中一些最重要的问题，其中包括：质量的起源;时空的性质;暗物质的性质。一旦大型强子对撞机加速器在2008年启动，大型强子对撞机的物理学家就必须做好分析数据的准备。第一届ATLAS美洲研讨会将于2007年8月举行，这将是一个重要的事件，将汇集来自美洲的物理学家交流思想和准备数据的开始。高能物理一直是一个国际性的活动。该方案将为南美洲科学家参加2007年8月在拉丁美洲和加勒比海中心举行的第一次美洲ATLAS讲习班提供部分支持。 会议将重点讨论从早期LHC运行中提取物理结果所需的工具，技术和基础设施。
