Stockholm University has been a strong participant in ATLAS from the early development phase, with important instrumentation contributions in two areas: The Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger and the front-end data-taking and readout system for the hadronic Tile Calorimeter.

The researchers are collaborating with the Oskar Klein Centre.
