Sponsorship from Curiosity stream made this whole trip to CERN possible - funding flights and accommodation for two people - so a big thanks to them. To all my willing interviewees who I peppered with questions - Clara, Sam & Aaron - you guys are the best for giving up your time. Also, a giant THANK YOU to Michaela Livingston-Banks (of Nailing Science fame) who took time away from the desk to follow me around with a camera all week. And a HUGE thank you to Stephanie Hills at CERN for scheduling this whole trip - she was my inbox fairy ❤️

You did a good job with these two episodes. Back in the late 60s I wanted to be a Physicist but got sidetracked by electronics and went to work at the BBC instead. One of my friends worked in the Radio 4 Science Unit and later for Horizon, so for about 10 years I was in regular contact with real scientists, some of whom were Physicists. I first became aware of the Higgs back then so have been following the progress ever since. When they streamed the presentation on 4 July 2012 I watched the whole thing live! It was such a huge thing for the community of particle physics. Seeing Peter Higgs wiping away tears was very moving. I look forward to seeing the complete interview videos. They look like fun!

You make it so that we are allowed to take part, in at least a vicarious sense, in this exciting new understanding of our reality; this is a result of your easy to apprehend explanations of ideas normally expressed in the idiom of advanced mathematics.

According to wiki of the 40 million collisions per second "only" 75.000 are chosen to pass the first trigger stage and less than 1000 pass the second trigger stage for being fully analysed and then around 200 of these are stored. In my opinion it would be nice if LHC would initiate for example a BOINC project for people to help analysing more data on their private computers. I am not a programmer and therefore can't say if such a thing would be even possible but the compute power of CPUs and especially modern GPUs might be worth a try. Wouldn't be surprised if some million ppl would love to do that beside searching for other important things. Maybe there are some software engineers on the channel who could give some input to this idea. :) Beside that, it was a great history lesson Becky!

I think I may have stumbled across a new type of particle. To cut a long story short, I have a pasty in my fridge and no matter where in the house I go, I can feel it pulling me back in its direction. The effect wears off once I am about 100 metres from the house, so I’d classify it as a relatively weak force. We already know about electrons, protons and neutrons. I think I have discovered Pastions. I’d like to propose that we set aside time at CERN to accelerate a pasty to something approaching the speed of light and see what more can be learned about them. I’m betting there’s a Nobel prize in it somewhere - that or a guest appearance on MasterChef. 😉

At 12:00 it is important to differentiate between energy (are particles colliding hard enough to create Higgs), and luminosity (are there enough collisions happening to see the signal from the noise). It jumped at me that you said energy, when it was probably more correct to say luminosity in that instance. Also, I guess the protons need to be much more energetic because only their components are actually colliding at that energy scale, but this one I'm not so sure about.

@adelannoy 4 жыл бұрын

Indeed, the statement "say you made a trillion different particles in a single collision [...]; maybe 10 of those would actually be a Higgs boson" confuses several things. In a typical Run2 LHC fill, you had ~10^11 protons in each colliding bunch crossing. And roughly 30 of those protons would interact per event (average pileup) each of which could potentially produce a Higgs. The Higgs cross section predicts how often a Higgs is expected to be produced, which works out to ~ one in a billion interactions. So, you will get a Higgs decay into some channel every billion collisions or so, which is expected to happen on the order every second [1, 2]. The amount of "energy available per collision" is coarsely described by the center of mass energy (13 TeV during Run2) but becomes extremely complicated one you describe it in more detail [3].

Thanks for explaining about this mysterious particle. My Dad was into reading science magazines and was somewhat sceptical about particle accelerators and what they really show us... and had his own ideas about the Higgs, which I don't understand as I was never much into particle physics and don't remember much of what I did learn. But one thing I thought was funny was his idea of a family of Higgs boson type particles not just one sort - he thought we should call them Haggs, Huggs, and Hoggs! I think my Dad believed the hype and fear about the colliders producing black holes or some other disaster. I would also be concerned by the energies involved and that they might have some dangerous consequences if something goes wrong. I guess I have a fear of machinery in general which meant physics wasn't the best subject to study if it means careers in industry (practicals were not my favourite part!) - maybe I should have stuck to maths or theoretical physics and astronomy! It's hard to get back (properly) into science and maths after years of ordinary/menial jobs... but of course I still find them fascinating.

Something you said got me thinking. You were talking about bosons, and how they were the messenger particle for the various fields, and specifically mentioned the photon as the one for the electromagnetic field. My mind then imagined a completely darkened room, no windows and no light sources, but an extremely strong electromagnet in the center of the room. My question is: are there photons flying around in that room, and if so, why wouldn't they be seen? If not, how is the electromagnetic field being propagated without its appropriate boson being present? I assume I am missing something, or completely misunderstanding something, here. Please correct my layman's error. Thank you Dr Becky, and congrats on the 100K!

@adelannoy 4 жыл бұрын

Keep in mind that a photon can have a wide range of possible frequencies/wavelengths and only a fraction of this range is on the visible spectrum [1]. The concept of gauge bosons (such as the photon) being carriers or messengers for fundamental interactions/forces is convenient but not completely accurate. In the context of quantum field theory, we say that the photon is the "quanta" of the electromagnetic field, meaning that it is an excited state of the quantum field [2]. A quantum field doesn't need to "propagate", it permeates the entire universe [3].
