LHC in video

Video clips of the LHC and scientists working on the project

Three 15 minute films describe the history of particle physics, the applications that have resulted from new discoveries and the expectations that scientists have for the LHC. These can be downloaded from the Teachers TV website. These films have been 'clipped' into 3-5 minute videos and are available on the STFC YouTube Channel (link opens in a new window) and from the STFC website (link opens in a new window).

A 13 minute film that describes the LHC and two of the experiments ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) and ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment).

Cern Podcasts (link opens in a new window)
Access podcasts on the LHC and related science from the CERN Podcast site (link opens in a new window) (or iTunes). Includes the visits of Quentin Wilson (presenter of C5's Fifth Gear), comedians Kevin Eldon and Simon Munnery and Captain Jack (John Barrowman) of TV's Dr Who and Torchwood.

Colliding Particles (link opens in a new window)
A series of films following just one of the teams of physicists involved in the research at the LHC. This series provides an insight into the research process and their particular research fields.

The giant 'YB0' section of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector being lowered into the CMS cavern ready for assembly. The section, the largest of 15, weighs as much as 5 jumbo jets (1920 tonnes) and is 16m high, 17m wide and 13m long. This link is to the CERN website.
