Big Bangs at the Large Hadron Collider Experimental Particle Physics Group University of Arizona
What is the Large Hadron Collider? • CERN is located outside Geneva, Switzerland • The ring circumference is 18 miles • The energy of the LHC is now 8 TeV = 4 TeV + 4 TeV
Hot Off the Press Results • We definitely know where the Higgs is NOT hiding • And we have a hint (only) as to where it may be found
What’s Next? • I am happy to answer one or two pressing questions • There are three stations to visit where you will learn additional details about the Large Hadron Collider accelerator, the ATLAS experiment and UA’s participation this exciting project • Feel free to visit any one or all of the stations! • Enjoy your tour!
How Does the Physics at the LHC Affect Me? • Sometimes one simply has to wait for the full impact of science to be felt
