Q&A - Particle Accelerators Reimagined - with Suzie Sheehy
Could CERN have detected supersymmetry? Should we be interested in plasma wakefield acceleration? Does the size of protons make them less suitable for medical application than electrons? Suzie...

[MUSIC PLAYING] Hi, thanks for that talk. That was really, really, really interesting. I know at the LHC, there's been a blip at 750 GV. Do you have any idea what that might be? It might be supersymmetry? So interestingly, so I should point out, because I work on accelerators, I'm not part of that particular collaboration. So I'm not-- but I do have a background in particle physics and I went to a seminar on that the other day. So I can tell you categorically that they don't know what it is. [LAUGHING] Yet. Yet. In fact, they don't know-- the thing is about the statistics of particle physics is blips can seem to appear. And then when you get more data, they can seem to disappear. So this is an exciting one at the moment bec...
