How does such a complex endeavour come to be? What are the challenges building and operating such a mind-boggling experiment? Three imaginative pop-ups show ATLAS in its underground cavern, the control centre on the surface and the tricky manoeuvring needed during installation.

"46 m long, 25 m high, 7 000 tonnes and bristling with ultra-sophisticated technology, ATLAS was no mean feat to build.
Each layer of the experiment uses a different ruse to track, analyse and record the elusive particles spraying out from the collisions in the centre."
