In the particle physics world, there is a lot of excitement today as the MiniBooNE experiment just released a new paper looking for what happens when neutrinos (from a muon) turn into neutrinos (from an

In this blog I intend to give a give an insider perspective on how CERN tours are arranged and what is happening behind the scenes. As a professional physicist, I have responsibilities including research,

One of the most common questions I get most as a particle physicist has to do with how we collect data and then analyse the data. So in this post I will discuss the process from collision to plot shortly.

Just seen at CERN: A door with so many signs that you need a PhD to open it One can never have enough signs?!? source: @freyablekman on twitter Today I spent most of the day showing 50 amateur astronomers

One of the most important parts of my work is to measure particles. Loads of particles. The particles I typically measure come from the collisions of the Large Hadron Collider. However, elementary particles

The shortest answer of what experimental particle physicists do is "we break particles to check what is inside and then build cameras to actually look at the broken particles. Then we interpret what

I'm an experimental particle physicist working at the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the LHC. (this is the experiment I work on. No white coats, but safety helmets!) As this is quite an exciting job
