Click of Physics
There is beauty in how the existing pieces of knowledge of physics fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. I had an opportunity to work at CERN in Switzerland as a visiting scientist and explore that beauty. At CERN, a crucial piece of the puzzle called the Higgs Boson finally filled a glaring hole in 2012. Many thought that the last piece of the standard model of physics was complete. But is it?
The purpose of project I attended was to create a new detector to find a new fundamental particle and extend the current standard model. The panel focuses on my challenge on leading a group of scientists with a wide variety of backgrounds to achieve one goal together, and how the click of the new puzzle piece fitting into place actually affects the world.
