This week we travelled 100 metres underground to the cathedral-like cavern of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector. This is one of the detectors stationed around the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) like giant cameras, recording the results of sub-atomic particle collisions as they take "snapshots of the invisible". We were joined by the two people who announced the discovery of the Higgs-like Boson - CMS spokesperson Joe Incandela and ATLAS spokesperson Fabiola Gianotti. Joe connected from the CMS cavern, while Fabiola joined CERN's regular hangout host, ATLAS physicist Steven Goldfarb, above ground.
