Higgs Music: What the World’s Largest Atom Smasher Sounds LikeBy Tanya Lewis, Staff Writer | September 30, 2014 The discovery of the Higgs boson, the particle thought to explain how other particles get their mass, was music to scientists' ears. And now, researchers working at the lab where the discovery was made have converted the Higgs data into literal music.
Scientists took data from the ALICE, ATLAS CMS and LHCb detectors in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), at CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, between 2011 and 2013, and turned it into a musical score that reveals what the Higgs boson would sound like. CERN physicists and engineers recorded an experimental piece called "LHChamber Music" based on that sonified data.
Composer and physicist Domenico Vicinanza created the music for CERN's 60th anniversary, and some of the lab's musically minded scientists performed the piece in the four experimental caverns that house the atom smasher's detectors and the CERN control center.

I've always been fascinated with that thing.
