Title	ATLAS Interview - Tom LeCompte, Physics Coordinator, ATLAS Experiment on the LHC at CERN
Author(s)	Goldfarb, Steven (University of Melbourne (AU))
Description	The ATLAS experiment will provide scientists with a lot of data which then must be analyzed and shared with the public. What does this process entail? In this interview by ATLAS physicist Steven Goldfarb (U of Michigan, USA), ATLAS Physics Coordinator Tom leCompte answers this important question. Topics covered in this interview include what a Physics Coordinator does and why this is important to a large experiment, the step by step process of publishing a potential discovery draw from the data, what ATLAS allows scientists to study and what the ATLAS collaboration hopes to find with the experiment.
