About the Event
Why Particle Physics never has Cool pictures, why this leads to fundamental discoveries
Why such big Science?
How do we know what to look for?
Particle Physics at the LHC.
Those of us in Particle physics are always envious of the beautiful images that our counterparts in Astrophysics can put on display. All of our images look pretty much the same. I hope to explain why, when we talk about the unbelievably small sub-atomic particles in the Universe, there are …. Complications…to obtaining similar images.
