Horizon (1964)
S53E13 Inside CERN
Episode Overview
Horizon offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at a remarkable chapter in particle physics. In June 2015, CERN's teams began operating the Large Hadron Collider at unprecedented energy levels. Almost immediately, speculation arose about a potential groundbreaking discovery. An unusual anomaly in the data hinted at the first signs of a novel particle that might revolutionize our comprehension of the universe. This new particle could suggest the existence of additional dimensions and shed light on the universe's origins, but the researchers must first confirm its existence. Horizon tracks the scientists as they seek the elusive signals that could validate the discovery or reveal mere background noise from their experiments.
