Scientific Picture of the Week
sam:
This is the first image produced by the Large Hadron Collider, showing some of the first protons accelerated earlier this week. I know its not the most breath taking on images but its still quite cool. This wasn't the heads-on collision experiment that some crazy people think will destroy the Earth, this will come later in the year.
Simon:
Umm.... interesting! :blush:
Clive:
Very cool indeed Sam!
GillE:
It looks as if the particles are following some sort of magnetic field pattern, rather like the shape of dumbells. How intriguing.

well they do follow magnetic fields as they are charged, well noticed - have you ever seen a bubble chamber experiment?
