Eurostar: Search for: Higgs in ATLAS Experiment

In summary, the physicists Gavin Salam, Jonathan Butterworth, and Adam Davison have all made significant contributions to the field of particle physics. They have diverse backgrounds and interests, but all share a passion for understanding the behavior of quarks and gluons. They are also involved in various other projects and hobbies, such as music, skiing, and digital DJing. Their work can be seen in the ongoing videos released on the Colliding Particles website.

Eurostar: Accepted approach in search of the Higgs, applies to ATLAS:

The physicists:
Gavin Salam is a theoretical particle physicist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Paris. He completed his PhD at Cambridge in 1996, and went on to hold postdoctoral fellowships in Milan and at CERN. His research has mostly been centered on the area of quantum chromodynamics, the theory which describes the behavior of quarks and gluons. He likes to play the piano in his spare time.

Jonathan Butterworth is an experimental particle physicist at University College London, and a member of the ATLAS collaboration at the LHC. He completed his doctorate at Oxford in 1992, and worked on the ZEUS experiment at DESY in Hamburg. He now divides his time between CERN and London, where he lives with his wife and 2 children. In his spare time he enjoys skiing and playing the guitar.

Adam Davison studied at University College London for his undergraduate degree and decided to stay on at UCL for his PhD. Although he currently works at CERN in Switzerland he still tries to spend time back in the UK. In addition to particle physics, he is also works on the Mixxx Digital DJ project and plays 5-a-side football.

Related to Eurostar: Search for: Higgs in ATLAS Experiment

1. What is the Eurostar project and what is its purpose?

The Eurostar: Search for Higgs in ATLAS Experiment is a scientific project that aims to study the properties of the Higgs Boson particle using data collected from the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. The Higgs Boson is believed to be responsible for giving mass to other particles and its discovery could help us better understand the fundamental forces of the universe.

2. How is the Eurostar project different from other experiments at CERN?

The Eurostar project is unique in that it specifically focuses on the search for the Higgs Boson particle using data from the ATLAS Experiment. While other experiments at CERN may also study the Higgs Boson, the Eurostar project is dedicated to this specific research goal.

3. What methods are being used in the Eurostar project to search for the Higgs Boson?

The Eurostar project uses a combination of experimental techniques, such as particle collisions, and advanced data analysis methods to search for the Higgs Boson. The ATLAS Experiment is a large particle detector that collects data from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The data is then analyzed using complex algorithms to identify potential Higgs Boson events.

4. What has been discovered so far in the Eurostar project?

The Eurostar project has contributed to the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle in 2012. This discovery confirmed the existence of the Higgs Boson and its properties aligned with predictions from the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Since then, the project has continued to study the properties of the Higgs Boson in more detail.

5. What impact does the Eurostar project have on our understanding of the universe?

The Eurostar project is crucial in our quest to understand the fundamental forces and building blocks of the universe. The discovery and study of the Higgs Boson have provided valuable insights into the origins of mass and the structure of the universe. This project has also paved the way for further research and advancements in particle physics, pushing the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding of the universe.
