I was planning on doing a shark flavored overview talk about the LHC and CMS experiment at c3 this year. Sadly, it was not accepted due to many other cool submissions.

But my trip to CERN was already planned and I had made arrangements with the PR department - So here are some of the images I took of special corespondent Blåhaj explaining things.

Hopefully next year is the charm. When LHC goes into the long shutdown I probably can also get some images of Blåhaj in the CMS experiment.

This is an access door to the LHC tunnel from one of the CMS caverns.Photograph of a Blåhaj wearing a CERN helmet and holding a pointing stick in front of a model of an LHC dipol magnet. Photograph of a Blåhaj looking into a metal tube. The tube is an decommissioned RF-cavity which was used to accelerate protons in the LHC.Photograph of a Blåhaj holding a pointing stick pointing at a large copper structure with smaller copper tubes in the center. The structure is a decommissioned linear accelerator.
