Next Round of Particle Smashin’

NewScientist takes a look at the future of particle colliders, now that the LHC is switched on. Wait, this means that there might be a future after 2012? Dagnabit, that movie lied to me!

The Large Hadron Collider is by no means the last of the particle smashers. A group at CERN recently explored the various scenarios that might emerge from the atomic debris in Geneva – and how they would shape what colliders we build next. We draw out the key points about each of the scenarios.
