Higgs-Presentations
This collection has seven presentations on the Higgs-boson and related topics. The presentations where hold by several German scientists after the Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 was awarded to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs. The presentations are generally understandable and can be used for information or as a source of inspiration for own presentations…

The basics of the Higgs boson (A TED Ed Lesson)
Let’s Begin… In 2012, scientists at CERN discovered evidence of the Higgs boson. The what? The Higgs boson is one of two types of fundamental particles and is a particular game-changer in the field of particle physics, proving how particles gain mass. Using the Socratic method, CERN scientists Dave Barney and Steve Goldfarb explain the…

Cracking the Cosmic Code
A simple presentation to explain the excitement surrounding the discovery of the Higgs boson. Borrows heavily from other presentations but adds lots of animation. Two versions are included: one is in English only; the other is in English and traditional Chinese. Talk was given in Taiwan in October 2013 and is geared towards a Taiwanese…

ATLAS Interview – Pippa Wells, Inner Detector System Project Leader, ATLAS Experiment on the LHC at CERN
In ATLAS, the very first component that is reached by colliding particles is the inner detector. As particles collide, their tracks, momentum and charge must be measured with the highest degree of precision. In this interview by ATLAS physicist Steven Goldfarb of colleague Pippa Wells, ATLAS Inner Detector System Project Leader, viewers learn how this…

ATLAS Interview – Fabiola Gianotti, spokesperson of the ATLAS Experiment on the LHC at CERN
ATLAS physicist Steven Goldfarb interviews colleague Fabiola Gianotti, ATLAS spokesperson. In this interview, Gianotti describes in simple terms the complexity of ATLAS construction and what it is designed to do. Topics covered include the numbers in the ATLAS collaboration, detector dimensions, numbers of electronic channels and length of cables, the readiness of the experiment for…
