Also. Once, or if, the Higgs Boson is detected, what would its tracking pattern look like? Would it leave a track, ultimately reach the muon calorimeter and out the collector, or would it leave no track and stay contained within the collector?

I agree w/ Stephens point.

I agree. Of all the live event displays, I like Atlas the best but would love to have more info on what I am looking at. I’m sure there is a key somewhere. Anyone know where it is? That way when someone comes into my office asks me what the interesting display on my monitor is I don’t have to say, “Not exactly sure. Pretty isn’t it?”

I have been watching the ATLAS proton-proton collisions in live mode as well as in recorded mode for several months now. They seem quite interesting, but information concerning what the likely products of the collisons are is not available, to my knowledge. It would be helpful if a color legend was provided for the debris tracks of the collisions so the collision products could be identified. Thank you in advance for a response to this request.
