Sunday Express : Staff from ATLAS , the biggest particle-physics experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, have recorded an album for Christmas. Chris Thomas, an ATLAS technician who masterminded and produced the Resonance double CD, found a wealth of musical talent among the 3000 ATLAS physicists, technicians, and support staff in Switzerland. One track on Resonance is the “Atlas Boogie,” a bluesy introduction to the search for the Higgs boson, or “god particle.” Most of Resonance‘s 36 tracks are not inspired by science, however, but are a mixture of cover songs and original compositions and range over rock, folk, classical, and Latin.
