matching dips

Contrary, or complimentary if you think about it, to my last post, this week is pretty awesome too. Lots of anticipated events, like today's presentation the Higgs Boson. UofT's head of Engineering Science physics option is a member of the ATLAS collaboration over at CERN and contributed to the discovery of a Higgs Boson.

It's like half of a dream come true to listen to the presentation (the other half would be a PEY placement there, hopefully they decide to upgrade the LHC too, that'd be double dream come true). Took some photos of certain slides, the presentation itself will be posted and I will definitely link to that once it becomes available:


 ^constructing the ATLAS detector, the bottom left photo is pretty much THE poster child for LHC haha. It's in absolutely every magazine article. Does look very impressive though.

 ^explaining how the different particles are tracked through the detector.

and an accidental (as in I was too impatient waiting for the camera to focus) bokeh of the Dundas and University Ave intersection. Duplicating the layer and setting it on soft light does wonders.
