The best particle physics comes with soundchecks — Pleasure to run a visual show for @particlekid and @daniellanois . Rock and roll and fourier analysis. 📸: @drlarrylee @spenleykelly

@CERN and @thebigbangcollective collaborated with @luckreunion to bring the Quantum Corral to this year’s festival. Workshops with liquid nitrogen ice cream, soldering pieces of the @atlasexperiment , and learning to play the theremin with @doritchrysler ! Talks and performances with Dave Wark @oxford_uni , @spenleykelly , @doritchrysler , and a big-stage collaboration with my project @colliderscopemusic 📸: @drlarrylee

Another signal:noise event Feb 19 at @flybynightknox . We'll have some new toys and a whole extra physicist. --- signal:noise is an experimental electronic music collective of physicists, bringing the study of the natural world to the dance floor. DJ sets from Science & Reason and Oskar, with physics-driven visuals from ColliderScope. Science & Reason is a project of Prof. Steven Johnston (UTK) that began in 2002 as a DJ duo based in Toronto, blending sounds from progressive house, breakbeats, and techno, with music releases and remixes on labels like ICONYC, 3rd Avenue, Dynamica, Massive Harmony, and Morphosis. ColliderScope is the project of Prof. Lawrence Lee (UTK) blending music with math and particle physics. He has performed at venues across the world including Roskilde Festival (Denmark), Pohoda Festival (Slovakia), and from the CERN Control Centre (Switzerland). Dr. Oskar Hartbrich (ORNL) is a particle physicist who started DJing in 2013 with the Purple Room collective in Oahu, Hawaii. He has since performed around the world, from Honolulu to Tokyo to his hometown of Wuppertal.

Just a fantastic photo hanging at the Galileo Galilei Institute in Florence

Want to learn about the accelerator components needed to collide unstable particles? Watch Taylor’s chalk talk on the fundamentals for a future #muoncollider from our August meeting! Featuring their amazing board work. Link in bio
