The ATLAS Experiment: Popping up next month across North America (and on Tuesday in NYC)
May 20, 2010 | 1:59 pm
The world’s first Large Hadron Collider pop-up book has gotten a makeover for North American readers. The silver edition of “Voyage to the Heart of Matter” features changes to text and design, as well as some enhanced pop-up action to better represent the Large Hadron Collider and ATLAS detector. The new edition of the eight-page book will be available from major bookstores and online retailers in the United States and Canada starting at the end of June.
LHC-philes (and pop-up aficionados) in the New York City area can get a sneak preview of the book and learn more about the world’s most powerful particle accelerator at a special event next Tuesday evening, May 25 at the New York Academy of Sciences. “Pop-Up Particle Physics from the Large Hadron Collider” will feature a panel discussion moderated by Alan Alda, book-signing and reception. Panelists will include Harvard theoretical physicist Lisa Randall, ATLAS physicist and Columbia University professor Michael Tuts, and book author Emma Sanders from CERN.
