Rating LHC Detector Logos & Names

Rating LHC detector logos & names

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has 4 crossing-point detectors: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb. This is a totally accurate 100% true absolutely not biased summary of how well they rank in name and logo

ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment

Name: 5/5 (we love a woman in STEM, plus it's a fairly easy and informative acronym)

Logo: 3/5 (simple, cool colours but does look slightly evil, and the fact the lines aren't the same length upsets me)

TOTAL: 8/10

ATLAS: A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS

Name: 3/5 (loving the mythology name, very cool. However, a point has to be deducted from having two letters in the acorynm from 'Apparatus', especially as one is from the end of the word. Another point is deducted from using an acronym in your acronym)

Logo: 5/5 (perfect, and apparently it's also modelled on an actual physicist from the experiment)

TOTAL: 8/10

CMS: Compact Muon Solenoid

Name: 1/5 (it's so boring! You get 1 point for being informative)

Logo: 1/5 (it looks like a child designed it. Where's the pizzazz? I know those are meant to be muon tracks but they really do look like tentacles)

TOTAL: 2/10

LHCb: LHC-beauty

Name: 2/5 (Yes okay it's not really any better than CMS', but the fact it has LHC in the name makes it feel very Important™. The beauty is from the fact its doing bottom quark physics, and bottom quarks are also called beauty quarks and I just think that's neat)

Logo: 2/5 (A Basic Bitch of a logo, though it gets 1 redemption point for the red line suggesting CP violation, which is physicsy and cool)

TOTAL: 4/10

it’s kinda wild that you think you’ll never get over something and then one day you do and you don’t even realize :)

monday 21st october

today i’ve done some useful life stuff, including opening a new savings account, doing some research into uni courses, and planning for the next half-term of school. i also went for a walk (taking the scenic route) to the shop to get some stuff for my mum. i love this stage of autumn when everything’s orange and crisp🍁
