I was watching the local network news and your experiment was the topic. Everybody was quite impressed. As you sit consider the true meaning of Particle Theory.

I am a liquid drop theory scientist. Why?

Because particle theory is the design of nuclear weapons security. We use liquid drop nuclei, you use constituent particle theory, why?

So pass this one around the control room please. NBS-1 the western world’s neutron standard is the cause to binding energy existance and it was created with a discrepancy to make binding itself. NBS-1 is currently at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST, with Dr. Gilliam.

Liquid theory is truly possible!

Finding the Higgs Boson is key part of LHC’s scientific plan. But it is not the only thing we are searching for. Check out this website for an overview of some of the LHC’s discovery potentials.

As for the Higgs’ importance to the Standard Model, my fellow blogger, Steve nicely summarizes this here.

Is finding the Higgs Boson the most important science for the LHC? Will finding the Higgs Boson essentially confirm the validity of the Standard Model? Why do scientist believe that the LHC has sufficient energy to produce the Higgs Boson?

Thanks for your insights – will

I am very excited about the work that you’re doing with Atlas. To infinity and beyond!!!

I can’t wait to see what the pixel detectors come back with

First, let me make an important point: the majority of the scientists on these experiments are funded through academic positions at their home institution. I believe this is true for all of the bloggers here as well. For example, Monica is under the pay-roll of the University of Chicago.

I say this only because I think it’s the reverse situation: CERN is in Europe, and it’s fairly expensive to travel/live there relative to the US!

Anyways, I’m sure somebody else will respond, but here’s a quick link I found which sounds reasonably informative for the public:

man..seems like some kind of life.. So what exactly will this 16 billion dollars do?? pay the scientists working on it… and thats it..lol seriously though.. i just herd about this today and it is interesting…
