First collisions at the LHC with unprecedented Energy! (Ask a particle physisicist)

Oh, and I forgot to say - of course they don't just run the experiments for that one search. There are dozens of different analysis groups working in parallel and combing through the data using different filters, looking for different types of effects. Even just for the higgs, the people doing the search for higgs bosons decaying to photons are completely different ones from those who do the search for the higgs decaying to four muons or whatever.In the end, each publication needs to get approved by all 4000 collaboration members before it is even sent to a journal, which is a MAJOR pain in the ass. Imagine answering and addressing thousands of emails with comments and criticism from colleagues who are also your academic rivals or could be your next boss. The internal peer review process within each experiment is daunting.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
