According to Linear Collider Deputy Director Hitoshi Murayama, the Large Hadron Collider is a collider of cherry pies, with lots of cherries, pastry and cream flying off in all directions, while what scientists are really after is the collision of two cherry seeds, he said at the 21 February press conference for the start of the Linear Collider Collaboration. Watch the video of the press conference - in both English and Japanese - here.

The Moriond conference, one of the most central physics conferences where latest results are presented to the community, is in full swing. Yesterday, Wednesday, was entirely dedicated to "The SM Scalar boson" - or, in other words, the new particle discovered at the LHC. Both the CMS and ATLAS experiments presented their latest results, and its seems that the new particle is compatible with a Higgs boson. The summer conferences will see even more updates - and maybe a confirmation? Find out more about yesterday's talks by watching the webcast, kindly made available by IN2P3.

The real problem will then be how we get government to build the next facility – these things have gotten so expensive I don’t know how that’s going to be possible. We really should begin that work now because it takes so long to get these things built that if we don’t start now we’re going to have a very long hiatus.

When you start talking about quarks, anti-electrons and the Higgs boson, most people get lost very quickly. But there are real-world implications, as TRIUMF at UBC hosts a meeting of the leaders of the major high-energy physics laboratories around the globe, including a potential boost to the local economy if a major, multi-country project goes ahead.
