CERN People - LIFE WITH THE HIGGS

Показать описание
The discovery of the Higgs boson was a career highlight for thousands of people, the greatest discovery in physics in a generation – but having found the Higgs, the field now has a bit of a crisis: what to do next? Young physicists, with many years of work ahead of them, talk about what they might do next and whether the Higgs boson is really just what they expected or something more exciting that will open new paths. The Large Hadron Collider could still reveal a lot of secrets.

"CERN People" is a new series of short films that goes behind the headlines of some of the biggest physics breakthroughs of our time, introducing the public to a handful of engaging young scientists at the world’s largest research center – home to the Hadron Collider and birthplace of the worldwide web!

We have been filming during the most exciting years for particle physics in a generation. Our aim is to give the general public, who have a broad sense of what CERN is, a more personal sense of who particle physicists are and what they actually do.

We have had great access to three CERN experiments: ALPHA, CMS, and some of ATLAS. We were there when the Higgs results were coming together, and when a groundbreaking anti-matter paper was accepted for publication. We captured the emotion of these moments in real time -- and such moments in physics are rare. They get headlines and public attention for a few days; our aim is to hold onto it and make the public want to know more, with a series of intimate, intelligent short films that open the door onto the real work of experimental particle physics.

Our focus is primarily on younger physicists -- not the people who speak to the cameras when big news is announced, but the ones staying up all night analyzing data, preparing graphs, and tweaking the tools on which big experiment results depend. We talk to them not only about what they do, but why they do it. Perhaps none of them will win the Nobel Prize, even if their work helps others to do so. They will probably never have the first-class lifestyle of their friends who went into the private sector, where mathematical brains like theirs can make millions. And as a rule, they don't care.

Is there a sign of both dark energy and dark matter involved with the physics in the universe.
I would like a someone at CERN to comment on the two forces and help me understand them
Thanks James McFarland

What is it with physicists and Comic Sans?
