Maybe also different Higgs boson pictures, depending on its main decay channels? The Z boson robe and so on?

But then I realised that the extinction of the planet - and probably the solar system - would prevent me from collecting my royalties. Life can be unfair sometimes! However, doomsday has been postponed until April/May of 2008 because of problems with magnets. The Higgs boson must be chuckling quietly in interstellar space, its anonymity preserved for a little longer. http://moridura.blogspot.com I had high hopes that when CERN switched on the LHC in November of this year, they would inadvertently create a black hole, thus increasing the sales of my book, ‘The Ancient Order of Moridura’ (with a related theme of a nascent singularity created by a meteorite impact in Extremadura).

I wish there'd be sites like these, being much more thorough and not primarly about a game. The stuff they wrote in passing was interesting to a science amateur like me that sometimes have to dig through science-speak to reach the understandable stuff.

I wish they had explained a little more (1) why certain tracks look like they did, and (2) why certain decays left the tracks they did. Can't have everything, I suppose. (And I did find the Higgs, one out of five times, which is probably a five-sigma detection.) This is a great game for teaching about triggers and so forth.
