The LHC and the Higgs Boson (but its early in the game)
Buried 100m below the French / Swiss countryside, between the Alps and the Jura Mountains, is a 27km tunnel housing the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This chain of superconducting magnets accelerates protons to high energies and then collides them in four different underground halls. Inside these halls are enormous, highly complex particle detectors, each…

Hidden Pieces: The LHC and our Dark Universe
This talk raises and addresses the question of why humans perform fundamental research, by noting the fundamental questions our species (and perhaps other species) have raised thrughout time. It then gives a snap history of how we have gone about trying to address these questions from early telescopes and microscopes to LIGO and the LHC.…

CERN Brochure – Destination Universe: The Incredible Journey of a Proton in the Large Hadron Collider
A 55 page color-A4 booklet.This brochure illustrates the incredible journey of a proton as he winds his way through the CERN accelerator chain and ends up inside the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is CERN’s flagship particle accelerator which can collide protons together at close to the speed of light, creating circumstances like those…

Impact of science on society and sustainable development showcased by particle physics and CERN
This presentation provides an overview of the broad positive impact of science on society and sustainable development, using CERN as a main example. As scientific community faces threatened funding of large experimental endeavors and low interest of young generation to engage in studies of physics and related sciences (refered to as “STEM (science, technology, engineering…

Solving the Enigma of the Universe: How we measure what we can’t see
This talk was given at TEDxOporto 2016 to a large, general public audience. It attempts to address the question, posed by a young student: “How do we measure what we can’t see?” The talk addresses this in three parts: What we currently know about our universe How we came about to understand this, through exploration…

American Physical Society Outreach Guide
This guide was created to provide ideas, opportunities, and most importantly “how-to” information regarding physics outreach programs. The goal of the Guide is to arm you with all the information you will need to do outreach programs, starting with a selection of possible outreach programs you can do. For every program we list, we provide…

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…

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…
