345 - ATLAS Science


Listen Later

Guests: Philipp Windischhofer   Host: Markus Voelter   Shownoter: Andy Joiner

After understanding the history and development of ATLAS (and covering the LHC and particle physics in general) in previous episodes, we are now at the point where we can try to understand how a scientist uses the data produced by one of these large detectors and make sense of it. This is what we’ll do in this episode with physicist (and listener) Philipp Windischhofer. If you want to learn even more, you can check out these links provided by Philipp or read the last chapter of the book :-)

Some additional material supplied by Philipp:

  • All ATLAS physics papers
  • The Higgs analysis paper we spoke about in the episode
  • The press release that goes with it
  • Public lecture by my favourite physicist on “why the Higgs has to exist”
  • On the hierarchy problem
  • ROOT data analysis framework
  • Introduction 00:03:23
