I am a retired chemist and he will work on their computer farms. I am of course hoping my relative and I can discuss his work and that I can learn more about this physically huge (30 feet diameter "lens" plus ?) lab equipment which they describe as a large camera, detecting tiny physics particles after collision (of proton beams?) with energy calorimeters and ? for position of the particles. Any comments? A close relative of mine has just been hired to work at the Fermilab and supersonductor super collider (SSC) at U of Chicago.
