ATLAS Results on Hard and Electromagnetic Probes in Heavy-Ion Collisions

Abstract

The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) encompasses a wide-ranging physics program that includes a variety of collision systems and energies. These proceedings provide an overview of the recent ATLAS measurements regarding heavy ion collisions and related topics. The data utilized in the presented results were recorded during LHC Run 2 (2015-2018). The measurements can help to understand various physics phenomena from hard scatterings to soft processes; from large systems through small systems and photon-induced interactions; and from precision measurements to searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
