Earlier this month, more than 40 scientists and teachers gave talks on particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology at the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago, one of the largest and most diverse science meetings in the United States. The conference coincided with the winter meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers.
A Fermilab Web site now offers pdf and PowerPoint files of most of these presentations. Highlights include a session on Project X and physics at the intensity frontier; the hunt for the Higgs particle at the Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider experiments; and particle physics experiments for high school students. Craig Dukes' talk gives a great explanation of what scientists hope to learn from Project X.
