Hunting the Higgs: Could you control the Large Hadron Collider?
Interactive comedy show with Dr Sam Gregson, Cambridge University and CERN (graduated)
Have you ever wanted to be a particle physicist and work at the infamous Large Hadron Collider? Now you can!
Hunting the Higgs is an incredibly unique, fun, interactive and comedic show that sees the audience proceed through all the steps of the scientific method to attempt to discover the infamous Higgs Boson for themselves.
Audiences form their own hypotheses to solve problems; collect and analyse data from the Large Hadron Collider during hectic physical activities and whilst using their own smart devices; explore their own thinking biases and even create mock LHC proton-proton collisions live! Except jokes, fun, load bangs, lots of engagement and noise!
Dr Sam Gregson is a British experimental particle physicist and award-winning science communicator and comedian formerly of the University of Cambridge, UK and the LHCb collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva.
Gregson runs the popular science YouTube channel under his moniker The Bad Boy of Science and uses the platform to attempt to make everyone to realise that they have the skills to understand particle physics and become particle physicists.
