The official choir of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (better known by its French acronym Cern) is to record a song dedicated to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).The LHC is the vast physics experiment built in a 27km-long underground tunnel, which runs in a circle under the French-Swiss border. The ditty written by clinical psychologist Danuta Orlowska has been set to the tune of the Hippopotamus song by Flanders and Swann and its chorus celebrates the Higgs boson - a sub-atomic particle that the LHC is designed to detect: "Higgs, Higgs glorious Higgs," the tune goes, "the theory told them these thingamijigs, were so fundamental."
