Particle physicist and musician Piotr Traczyk has accept information plots from the historic uncovering of the Higgs boson and converted it into music that can be fiddle by two guitars . Heavy metal guitar , to be more accurate . The result is as nerdy as it is excellent .
To win over the breakthrough of the Higgs boson into music , Traczyk map point in histograms to a chromatic scale , and then used logarithms to squeeze the frequency range into something desirable for a guitar . The resulting “ song ” is performed by two guitar , where one plays the gamma - da Gamma runnel and the other the 4 - lepton Riffian . you may geek out over more details at theCylindrical Onionblog .
“ Each guitar also play something else when the other guitar plays the sonification ; I admit the impropriety of writing these function to make the whole matter blend seamlessly , ” writes Traczyk . “ I add together a drum and basso part – it is a metallic element melody after all ! The only matter that remain to be done was to shoot the video and CERN ’s main auditorium was the obvious choice of location : this is where the original discovery was herald . ”
seem forward , Traczyk is hoping for fresh data — and a new song — now thatthe juiced - up LCH is back in business sector .
