ATLAS Interview – Tom LeCompte, Physics Coordinator, ATLAS Experiment on the LHC at CERN
The ATLAS experiment will provide scientists with a lot of data which then must be analyzed and shared with the public. What does this process entail? In this interview by ATLAS physicist Steven Goldfarb (U of Michigan, USA), ATLAS Physics Coordinator Tom leCompte answers this important question. Topics covered in this interview include what a…

Charge! Electricity and Magnetism
Particle physicists know how magnets big and small work and how they apply to our world. Students explore the relationship of magnetism and electricity and have questions answered about the power of these forces. This presentation is one of a series offered by Fermilab scientists, engineers and technicians at schools near the Lab. URL for…
