  1. Particle Physics: Discovery Science & Precision Measurements

  2. CERN as Catalyst News from CERN Elusive Higgs More massive SUSY particles Speedy Neutrinos M. Bardeen, ICATPP, Como, Italy

  3. Case in Point: Speedy Neutrinos “Tiny Neutrinos May Have Broken Cosmic Speed Limit” 9/22 New York Times “Results from Cern show particles ‘exceed speed of light’” 9/23 BBC “Speedy neutrino has scientists questioning Einstein” 9/23 France 24 What’s the context? People don’t know. They read the headlines. M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011

  4. Case in Point: Speedy Neutrinos “Scientists Skeptical About Speedy Neutrinos” 9/23 The Daily Beast “Speedy neutrinos challenge physicists” 9/27 Nature News “Speedy neutrino mystery likely solved, relativity safe after all” 10/14 DIVICE What’s the context? People don’t know. They read the headlines. M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011

  5. The Dilemma Discovery science is a journey. People learn about it as an event—a headline, an article, a lecture, missing the ongoing story. Can we shift the focus . . . where we have a chance? M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011

  6. There’s a Story to Tell It is the dawn of a new age in particle physics. Physicists have incorporated decades of observations and results into the Standard Model, but . . . . . . . . . Follow along as physicists solve mysteries of the universe. M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011

  7. The Nature of the Journey 1. What we know 2. Questions we ask 3. Tools we build and use 4. How we know 5. What we learn M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011

  8. The Nature of the Journey 1. What we know √ 2. Questions we ask 3. Tools we build and use √ 4. How we know 5. What we learn √ M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011

  9. 2. Questions We Ask Where to Start? What’s the anchor? “Speed of light” √ “Einstein” √ “Higgs” √ “Supersymmetry (SUSY)” ? “Compositeness” X . . . . M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011

  10. 4. How We Know Look for the unexpected. Check for: Statistical uncertainties Systematic uncertainties Verification from other experiments M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011

  11. What are Your Suggestions? How do we tell our story of discovery? . . . the journey? . . . our questions? . . . our data analysis? M. Bardeen, IPPOG, Oct.2011
