Righting an ATLAS end-cap
Maximilien Brice · CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2003
Each component of the giant ATLAS detector must be moved and transported with great caution so that delicate components are not damaged. Therefore, tests are performed, like the one shown. The end-cap weighs 160 tonnes, making the delicate moving process a non-trivial feat. A special crane and supports have been designed so that the end-cap can be raised using a pivot.
