A Manchester physics student named Tim Head has created an amazing time-lapse movie of ATLAS being constructed, by putting together footage from the ATLAS webcam. Experience in five minutes what we’ve experienced over the past five years!
See what Tim has to say about the video here. If you like time-lapse ATLAS movies, there’s also a thirty second movie of one of the endcap toroids being lowered.

Great video. Good choice of music too. Looks like micro-surgery on a mammoth scale!
Hope all goes well – very soon!!

sorry guys, link is dead..
Oh sure, NOW it works…
You should all be proud.
It makes the shuttle look like a lego toy.
Brilliant! Didn’t quite make me cry, but it was a near thing.
What is time anyways? I’ll leave that to you guys
it looks like they keep putting the cap on and taking it off again. is that intentional?
Yes, it’s intentional. Some of the big stuff at the end is designed to slide in and out so the Inner Detector can be accessed. So first they slide it in to make sure everything fits properly, then sometimes they open it up again to work inside–since the Inner Detector is the component that’s actually having the last work done to it.
The big thin gold thing is part of the muon endcap system, while the parts that slide in and out inside the big red-striped toroid magnets are various portions of the calorimeter.
