Join the University of Arizona's Experimental Particle Physics Group as we delve into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, located just outside Geneva, Switzerland. Covering the intricacies of its 18-mile circumference and the staggering 8 TeV energy, we investigate groundbreaking questions: Are there Big Bangs at the LHC? Have we discovered the elusive Higgs boson? Learn about the role of the UA in this monumental scientific project and explore three interactive stations detailing the LHC accelerator, ATLAS experiment, and more. Enjoy your tour and engage with our experts!

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
