ATLAS office in the European Center for Nuclear Research
In this office, which is located directly above the largest detector of the Large Hadron Collider, and treated them received millions of terabytes of data, the researchers first recorded, and then received confirmation of the existence of the Higgs boson.
ATLAS - one of the four major LHC sensors. And the biggest.
What we see in the photographs - the aboveground part of ATLAS, namely his office, where the processing of all the data.
When you look at the hollow tube inside office buildings, it seems that the working space more and more bites into the core of the collider, at the same time, scientists are increasingly perceive the essence of matter.
Itself outside the building is not very noticeable and. However, even outside of the pipe is guessed.
ATLAS project originated in 1992 and today this collaboration is one of the largest scientific communities in elementary particle physics - many scientists from different universities and countries take part in its work.
Assembling the ATLAS detector at the underground site began in 2005, and in 2011 scientists came close to finding the Higgs boson
Parking by the office. Machines on campus are generally much less than their younger brothers of two-wheeled.
Bicycles just everywhere and sometimes they do not even have free parking
Once inside the pipe immediately taken prisoner of its geometry. Here, everything is reduced to the construction of a circle with converging to the center of intersecting lines.
If you look at the top tier down - there is a complete sense of extending deep into the rabbit hole ... especially if you know that another 100 meters, below ground, is something invented by people and learn some incredible things.
And people are working, analyze the incredible number of runs down the fiber-optic cable data. To some time to exclaim - yes, we did it! As exclaimed in mid-2012. What is this all Higgs boson? One of the key issues of modern high-energy physics - the confirmation or refutation of the existence of the theoretically predicted in 1964 by the Scottish physicist Peter Higgs exotic subatomic particle called the Higgs boson - in fact, the only missing link of the Standard Model of elementary particles. It is assumed that the Higgs boson has played a major role in the mechanism by which some particles (quarks, leptons) during the Big Bang gained weight, while others remain massless (photons). I do not know about you, but I did not understand that. Difficulties standing in the way of opening this boson was so great, and his alleged role is so important that the particle was ironic nickname "God particle", although many physicists from this "nickname" just grates.
I do not know how comfortable and efficient work in such conditions the office when your workspace is fully open and enters the labyrinth of the same spaces - just around the cacophony of sounds and movements. People walk, run, talk, creating the overall effect of the anthill.
