SITE WAS CERTIFIED ON MAY 1999
Greek delegate to CERN Council, Professor Emmanuel Floratos (front, centre), accompanied by members of the Greek team, with
the first ATLAS muon chamber built in Greece installed in the x-ray tomograph at CERN.
…the first precision chamber to come off a production line was built by a collaboration of three Greek universities and it arrived at CERN from Thessaloniki on 5 August. This chamber is the first complete model of 1200 that will be built around the world over the next few years.….
First ATLAS muon chamber arrives from Greek production line

FIRST CHAMBER FROM 17 SITES IN 9 COUNTRIES TO PASS ALL TESTS (13 μm position fluctuation of wire)
CERN Courier, October 2000
Verifying the alignment of interferometer beam optics on the ATLAS
experiment's X-ray tomograph at CERN. A small muon chamber from
Greece, destined for the barrel region of the detector, is on the tomograph.
It went on to pass the test with its wires showing an average fluctuation
of just 13 m from their nominal positions. To pass the test, a chamber
has to score less than 20 m.
