This has already been batted around a bit, but for those of you who depend on CV for absolutely all of your news, there is a new US\/LHC website<\/a>, brought to you by the collective US institutions involved in the Large Hadron Collider. Like any hip contemporary internet presence, it comes complete with a blog<\/a>. A group blog, in fact, featuring four physicists working on different aspects of the LHC: Monica Dunford<\/a>, Pamela Klabbers<\/a>, Steve Nahn<\/a>, and Peter Steinberg<\/a>. (I thought Peter already had a blog<\/a>, but apparently some people can’t be confined to just one.) It’s great that we’ll get more inside scoop about what is happening at the LHC, in addition to the awesome scoop you can already get here and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

There has been some fretting that the LHC, scheduled to turn on next year, is already getting too much hype. On the list of my own personal worries, this does not crack the top million. If you’re someone who reads several physics blogs and scans the Science Times and the wire services for stories about particle physics, you may have been subjected to a lot of stories about an experiment that hasn’t yet collected any data. But the more casual reader is very far from reaching a point of LHC over-exposure. This is by far the most important experiment in the last thirty years in an undeniably significant subfield of physics. The excitement is perfectly justified, and there will be much more to come.<\/p>\n
