"Use the force, ATLAS"


I can't embed the videos here, alas, because the embedding feature has been disabled "by request," according to YouTube. But here are the links for a fantastic trio of videos explaining the science and design of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider -- using a STAR WARS motif. Inquiring minds want to know: where does Darth Vader fit in?

"ATLAS: A New Hope"

"ATLAS: The Particle Strikes Back (Part I)"

"ATLAS: The Particle Strikes Back (Part II)"
