ATLAS detector hardware and software are nearing readiness.
Calibration and cosmic data analysis are progressing well.
Preparations are on track for the 2010 Pb-Pb collision data-taking.
Abstract
The ATLAS experiment took its first beam data in September 2008 and is actively preparing for the planned start of LHC collision data-taking in 2009. This preparation includes hardware and software commissioning, as well as calibration and cosmic data analysis. The status and performance of the ATLAS detector will be discussed, with a view towards the Pb+Pb run expected in 2010.
