Professor that I met from McGill University explaining HEP (who woks on ATLAS). He is awesome!
From PHD Comics, “The Higgs Boson Explained”. The author of PHD comics visits CERN and speaks with particle physicist Daniel Whiteson about the mysterious Higgs boson.
If you’re still wondering what’s the deal with the Higgs boson, this video is a great resource. It’s thorough, easy to follow, and entertaining.

LHC physics data taking gets underway at new record collision energy of 8TeV
At 0:38 CEST this morning, the LHC shift crew declared ‘stable beams’ as two 4 TeV proton beams were brought into collision at the LHC’s four interaction points. This signals the start of physics data taking by the LHC experiments for 2012. The collision energy of 8 TeV is a new world record, and increases the machine’s discovery potential considerably.
It’s still not really anywhere near it’s fully specified beam power, but this increase in power still has the possibility of leading to some very interesting new discoveries.
