The goal of High Energy Particle Physics is to discover and understand the basic constituents of matter and the interactions among them. The ATLAS experiment is designed to explore particle collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which reproduce conditions in the first tens of picoseconds in the life of the universe. We are in a unique position to discover the Higgs boson and search for exotic new physics phenomena such as supersymmetric particles, and heavy resonance production that may shed l ight on electroweak symmetry-breaking, the origin of particle masses, the origins and composition of luminous and possibly dark matter, new symmetries, new interactions, extra space dimensions and the quantum nature of gravity. The Norwegian HEPP communi ty has made substantial contributions to all stages of the ATLAS experiment, from the early planning through the recent publication of first results, with major contributions to the Silicon part of the Inner tracking Detector (ID, Grid computing and distr ibuted analysis. During the first period of this proposal (2012-2015) we aim to: o analyse and publish physics results based on the 10-15 fb-1 of 8 TeV data to be collected by the end of 2012: - concentrate on searches of Higgs bosons decaying to pairs of photons or taus - perform model-independent searches for supersymmetric and other exotic particles in the multi-lepton final state. o prepare for higher luminosity and 14 TeV total energy from 2015 - construct, test and commission the insertable pi xel B-layer and deploy a full 3D active-edge pixel sensors in the forward tracker for phase 1 upgrade - adapt the computing infrastructure - improve the analysis and statistical tools and techniques - perform phenomenological studies to increase the sensi tivity of ATLAS to physics beyond the Standard Model and to understand any discoveries. In the second period (2016-2019) we will collect and analyze a few 100 fb-1 of data and contribute strongly to the ID R&D.
