Title
Results from the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC in Run 2
Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has started its second run earlier this year after a two-year shutdown. During this shutdown a lot of work was done to enable the LHC to run at a collision energy of 13 TeV, about 60% higher than in the 2010 – 2012 run. The ATLAS experiment at the LHC was also improved to be ready to analyse the data at higher energies and at the higher rates planned. I will review these improvements, and show initial results from the ATLAS experiment based on the analyses of the new data.
