Editing ATLAS experiment (section)

===Layered design===
In order to identify all particles produced at the [[interaction point]] where the particle beams collide, the detector is designed in layers  made up of detectors of different types, each of which is designed to observe specific types of particles.  The different traces that particles leave in each layer of the detector allow for effective [[particle identification]] and accurate measurements of energy and momentum. (The role of each layer in the detector is discussed [[#Detector systems|below]].) As the energy of the particles produced by the accelerator increases, the detectors attached to it must grow to effectively measure and stop higher-energy particles. As of 2022, the ATLAS detector is the largest ever built at a particle collider.<ref name="CERNpr">{{cite press release| publisher=CERN| date=2006-11-20| title= World's largest superconducting magnet switches on| url=http://press.cern/press-releases/2006/11/worlds-largest-superconducting-magnet-switches| access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref>
