MSU scientists busy as Europe’s Large Hadron Collider re-starts

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the world’s major research facilities. 27 miles in circumference and spanning the French-Swiss border, the LHC has been shut down for two years of planned maintenance. Before the shutdown, the collider had run for three years, and the discoveries there have included the long-sought Higgs boson. This month, the facility re-opened, and researchers from Michigan State University have a prominent role in the work being done there.Current State speaks with two members of the MSU Physics and Astronomy Department faculty, Joey Huston and Wade Fisher.
