Description

Originally aired: 2009.02.01



"Physicists at Fermilab, the most powerful particle accelerator in the United States, are closing in on one of the
universe’s best-kept secrets: what is known as the Holy Grail of physics or the reason why everything has mass.
With the Tevatron, an underground particle accelerator buried deep beneath the Illinois prairie, Fermilab scientists
smash matter together, accelerating protons and antiprotons in a four-mile-long ring at nearly the speed of light. They
do this to find the God particle—the Higgs boson—whose existence was theorized nearly 40 years ago by
Scottish scientist Peter Higgs. The physicists searching for the Higgs boson are excited; they may be approaching the
discovery of a lifetime and there’s almost certainly a Nobel Prize for whoever finally finds it.



Wars, natural disasters and a growing deficit are chipping away at America’s ability to maintain its role as
science leader. In the midst of this uncertainty, Fermilab struggles to stay alive, just as a new and more powerful
accelerator in Europe prepares to open its doors and potentially make the discovery first. This tightening race makes
Fermilab physicists like Nobel Laureate and elder statesman Leon Lederman, rock band front man ben Kilminster and
newlyweds John Conway and Robin Erbacher contemplate their future in physics. Despite dwindling support, the scientists
show infectious enthusiasm as they wrangle the cantankerous Tevatron to record-breaking energies, increasing the odds of
a discovery. Then, in December 2006, research findings indicate that the Higgs might be lighter than previously believed
and, therefore, easier for Fermilab to find. Then comes the bombshell: governmental budgets are slashed and a key
project is canceled at Fermilab. The Tevatron is scheduled to be turned off permanently, unless a major discovery is
made. A race to the finish begins.



THE ATOM SMASHERS explores what happens when politicians, not scientists, decide which scientific projects will be
funded and which will be cut, and depicts the contradictions that arise when the most educated population in the world
begins to doubt the place and value of science. Archival film and vintage footage illustrate the history of Fermilab and
cultural attitudes towards science in America, with key scientific ideas brought to life through animation. Despite the
setbacks, the physicists at Fermilab continue the search. Until Europe’s atom smasher goes online and starts
generating the massive amounts of collisions it takes to find such a minute particle, there’s still a chance that
they can win the race. As physicist John Conway says, “This work is too important not to be done somewhere.”
But will it be done here in the U.S.? Or will he and the rest of the physicists at Fermilab soon be packing their bags
for Europe?"
