[News-releases] ATLAS completion of world's largest jigsaw puzzle brings Canadian scientists to brink of breakthroughs

[Tim Meyer]

Good morning. 

Canadian science expertise has played a significant role in the construction
of one of the largest international collaborative projects ever attempted in
science.  Today, Canadians can celebrate their role in placing the final
piece of equipment in a mammoth machine begun over nine years ago, the ATLAS
experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) thanks to the contribution by
TRIUMF, Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics
located in Vancouver, BC.  ATLAS is a particle-physics experiment that will
explore the fundamental nature of matter and the basic forces that shape our
universe.
