The LHC Higgs Boson Hunter

Professor Jonathan Butterworth is an experimental particle physicist at University College London (UCL), and a member of the ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

As his team prepares for the re-start of the most complex experiment mankind has ever conceived, Discovery News producer Ian O’Neill manages to catch Prof. Butterworth between TV interviews to chat about micro-black holes, spin-off technologies and why he’s not a big fan of the Higgs boson.

You can follow Prof. Butterworth’s work on the frontier of accelerator physics in a series of short films called “Colliding Particles — Hunting the Higgs.”
