Lagging Behind - Will answer in due time!

This is an apology and a promise - as every time there is a big event or deadline, everything else gets pushed down, creating a long backlog. My mailbox is in an awful state, and here too I am doing a very bad job answering questions. The fact that I will be driving for most of the day today, to get back to Venice, makes things worse.

I will get back to all your questions in due time, and update the ATLAS Higgs results post with graphs. Be patient, and sorry for that !

Sincerely,
Tommaso

Rolf Heuer: "I Think We Have It" !

Jul 04 2012 | comment(s)

Rolf is drawing the conclusions. He just asked the audience:

"I think we have it. Do you agree ?" And a roar of consensus fills the auditorium.

The slide says "The observation of a new particle consistent with a Higgs boson".

It is a historic milestone, but only the beginning.

A standing ovation follows. Then a connection with Melbourne, with the other auditorium applauding. Now questions in the CERN site ensuing.

Theorists take the stage, Higgs saying it is an extraordinary achievement for the lab, and that he is glad that it happened in his lifetime.

A very moving finale !
