Here is a short clip of one of our interviews with physicists...Alessandra Ciocio.

Dark Energy

Sat, 04/05/2008 - 18:27 — DuboisN09

    During our interview with Malcolm Fairbairn a favorite
subject of mine came up, known as 'Dark Matter'. Leighann did a great job of
explaining this on one of her earlier posts, but what she did not get into was
the related topic of 'Dark Energy', so I am going to indulge you on my own
personal understanding of it.

Open Day (Saturday, April 5)

Sat, 04/05/2008 - 17:17 — DuboisN09

Today was almost completely booked! This morning we
started off the day by heading to one of the sites along the acceleration part
of the LHC. This is basically an extremely long tunnel that holds the pathway
along which the particles will travel, and the magnets that will steer them.
The section that we visited did not have any magnets installed, so we could
still see the two beam pipes running down the tunnel which was really neat!

    After we got back from the LHC, we had lunch, worked on

ATLAS

After lunch we got a tour ATLAS which is another detector at CERN which happens to be 82 meters underground. The ambition of this project is to describe all forces as one force. Similar to CMS, it has the same basic layers, but the difference is the superconducting magnets in the muon detectors.

When you read about the exciting science discoveries and ideas that make it to the headline news the names are not ones you recognize, and certainly no one you know. As we've been working here interviewing scientists, and catching news bits online about the LHC, we've been seeing names in the news that not only do we recognize, but have met and interviewed ourselves!!!
