Paralympics Opener in 2012 Featuring Stephen Hawking and the LHC › “The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the largest, most complex machine in the world, possibly the universe,” Hawking says, as the British electronica duo’s lush and poignant synthesized sounds soar behind him. “By smashing particles together at enormous energies, it re- creates conditions of the Big Bang. The recent discovery of what looks like the Higgs particle is a triumph of human endeavor and international collaboration. It will change our perception of the world, and has the potential to offer insights into a complete theory of everything.”recent discovery of what looks like the Higgs particle › Full article and video available at: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/08/stephen-hawking-paralympics http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/08/stephen-hawking-paralympics 15/10/2014M.

4 th July 2012 Announcement Coverage One week prior to the Higgs boson announcement, CERN issued a press release stating that CMS and ATLAS would present their results on 4th July at CERN. The seminar took place at CERN as a curtain raiser to the ICHEP conference which was organised in Australia this summer: physicists from around the world gathering in Melbourne were able to join the seminar via a live two-way link. After the seminar (which was webcasted), the CERN Director General and the ATLAS and CMS Spokespersons hosted a press conference. This was followed by TV and radio interviews and discussions between journalists and physicists. Unprecedented coverage of a particle discovery in all types of media! 11 The information shared on the following slides come from material developed by the ATLAS and CMS outreach teams as well as from the CERN Press Office 15/10/2014M.

4 th July 2012 Announcement Coverage › The webcast of the Higgs seminar had almost 500,000 single IP connections – with a record 60,500 IPs connected at once. CERN also provided 150 scientific institutes – with an estimated audience of 10,000 people – with a special HD connection to the webcast, and a video conference connection to the 700 physicists present in Melbourne for the ICHEP conference. › Video footage was used by 1,034 TV stations and 5,016 news programmes (compared to 550 TV stations and 3,500 news programmes in 2008, for the inauguration of the LHC):. An estimate of 1 billion viewers worldwide ! 15/10/2014M. Gaillard – M. Touranakou - CERN openlab14
