But not sciency enough to require the use of gloves.
I've never heard of Angels & Demons before, but I presume physicists laugh at it like geologists laugh at Armageddon.
Well, let's say it this way, if you'd sit down there in the cavern while the experiment is running as depicted, even a lab coat would probably not save you from being grilled (although the radiation level during operation isn't instantly deadly I think, just well above usual limits).
The actual ATLAS control center as it is, overground, is mostly populated by grad students donning T-shirts
