About LHSee

Want to find out how to Hunt the Higgs Boson using your phone? Ever wondered how the Large Hadron Collider experiments work, and what the collisions look like?

Scientists at the world's biggest scientific experiment - the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva - are trying to answer fundamental questions about the nature of the universe, the origin of mass, and structure of space and time. LHSee makes the Hadron Collider accessible to anybody with an Android smartphone or tablet PC. Written by Oxford University scientists in collaboration with the ATLAS experiment at CERN, it is designed for use by experts and non-experts alike.

For the first time you can now grab live collision events from the underground detectors in Geneva, and beam them direct to your own device. As well as a variety of educational resources, the application allows you to interact with the collision events in full 3D graphics. You can also find out how the different parts of the detector work, learn how to identify different types of collision, and even put your new skills to the test by playing the "Hunt the Higgs" game.

I must strongly recommend this app to those with an interest on particle physics and CERN. I was interested but didn't know much, but this app soon changed that! A highly informative and simply laid out app.

Best app

O70%
by O####:

Very good app. But stream events don't work. And more events will make it perfect.

Awesome app

Great work dev!

And pretty good implementation

Last event is from 2012. Wtf? Last time I checked it was June 3, 2015. And where is your "Collider" app advertised on your website? Maybe you just changed your mind.

Visualizing CERN ATLAS experiments on my phone? Awesome!!!! XD I'm totally geeking out on this stuff!

R70%
by R####:

I may not understand all the workings behind the Large Hadron Collider, but I'm fascinated by it anyway! If you are interested in the LHC and it's findings, then you will enjoy this app! Videos and links, especially!

by R####:

Must have app for anyone interested in general science or physics. Taught me a lot and let's you look at real time data.

Get this app and find out!

Great application, made at CERN, and free

Good on CERN for making this easy to use and understand app!

INCREDIBLE

Very good...

-1 star because of geometry glitches, and because there's a nicer ATLAS event dislpay. That said, were is the code so we can copy this to ALICE :-)

Want to know about new found particle.. Chi-b(3P) Info..TQ

R70%

We just don't know what it is yet!

B70%
by B####:

The 3D events are great to play with. Hunting the Higgs is a bit tricky on my phone screen (it's easy to miss a particle off the edge of the screen without some scrolling and zooming), but a fun game nonetheless. A couple of suggestions: how about showing the date/time for streamed events to see exactly how live they are, and maybe a direct link to the LHC Page 1 (yes, it's technical, but one doesn't have to understand it all to see "stable beams"!).

As an aspiring particle physicist that happens to own an android phone, this app has pretty much made my life. Best thing ever put on the market.

B70%
by B####:

Love what the l.h.c. is doing but maybe have an app that explains or can teach the rest of the world what it is. Instead of showing us we are lacking

I'm sure its really cool, but the menus don't show up on my Droid 2 Global :(

U70%
by U####:

Works fine, great idea, but is quite painful to use. Zoom and rotate is way too sensitive (3D) so I got tired quickly.

R70%
by R####:

UI and design need some work (i.e. it could be prettier) but otherwise great. Very functional, educational, & accessible even to non-experts like me.

by R####:

I hope the positive reviews are a further inspiration to take this app to the 'next' level. Keep up the excellent work and good luck!

X70%
by X####:

It used to get constant updates

Z70%
by Z####:

Feature request -- Would be nice if we could see at least some events with tags on (guesses for) the major jets, so we get an idea of what process is happening.

Brilliant, thank you and works well. And so fast updatd today..

Application like this makes my device pure scientific instrument. Hundred percent recommended.

Really cool, but keeps telling me connection timed out... :/

R70%

I absolutely love this app. I love the articles, I love the illustrations, I love the video clips, I love it all! Thank you soooo much!!!!

C70%
by C####:

Top app for top research

Z70%
by Z####:

I can't load any live data anymore, just shows me to try again later. No matter if I'm using wifi or a mobile data connection. Except for the issue that has rendered the app useless, this is a excellent and one of a kind app!
