UA Physicists Discuss 'Particle Fever' Movie at The Loft Cinema on April 25

College of Science
April 22, 2014

Friday is the Tucson opening of "Particle Fever," the acclaimed new documentary about the launch of the Large Hadron Collider and subsequent discovery of the Higgs Boson, and the opening will include a post-film discussion and Q&A featuring University of Arizona physicists who work on the collider.

This special Science of Cinema screening of "Particle Fever" on Friday, April 25 at 7 p.m. at The Loft Cinema, 3233 E. Speedway Blvd., in Tucson kicks off the film's week-long run.

Panelists Elliott Cheu, John Rutherfoord and Michael Shupe, professors of physics at the UA, and their colleagues in the UA’s Experimental Elementary Particle Physics group are some of the 2,500-some co-authors of the publication reporting the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Switzerland.

The UA researchers, the only ones in the state of Arizona working on the LHC, focus their efforts on the collider's ATLAS Experiment – one of the two LHC detectors that discovered the Higgs boson.

More information and a trailer for the film can be found at http://www.loftcinema.com/film/particle-fever/.

Science of Cinema is sponsored by Research Corporation for the Advancement of Science, with special advising by the UA College of Science and the UA College of Social & Behavioral Sciences.
