Be a physicist- Dans la peau dun chercheur-En el piel de un investigator

At CERN, some 10,000 physicists are investigating elementary particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye. The schoolchildren taking part in the project conduct investigations, just like the physicists, on sealed boxes containing unknown objects. To work out what's inside, they have to proceed through a series of hypotheses and experiments.

PhD TV The Higgs Boson Explained

A short and clever video animation using cartoons and voice over. This can also be printed out as a comic book.

The PhD Comics team visit particle physicist David Whiteson at CERN where he talks to us about what the mysterious Higgs Boson is and how the Large Hadron Collider is going to find it (if it exists).

Hadronic Calorimeter in the ATLAS detector on the LHC at CERN

This colorful 3D animation is an excerpt from the film "ATLAS-Episode II, The Particles Strike Back." Shot with a bug's eye view of the inside of the detector. Topics covered include what the Hadronic Calorimeter measures, what types of particles are hadrons, what the calorimeter is made of, what happens when a particle passes through the calorimeter and how it measures the hadron's energy.
