    Description

    The documentary "Invisible Energy" follows the 1984 run of the UA1 experiment at the CERN proton-antiproton collider. The 1983 discovery of the bosons W and Z° led to the Physics Nobel prize for Simon van der Meer and Carlo Rubbia, the spokesperson of the UA1 experiment. The film, produced as part of Lynn Silverman’s doctorate in visual anthropology, enters the daily life at the UA1 experiment of physicists, engineers and technicians. It includes interviews with Carlo Rubbia and with theorists. It raises pertinent questions about the future of particle physics that are still of great importance today. 

    Film producer: Lynn Silverman Gaillard, 2025 remastering: Lynn Silverman Gaillard, Gijs de Rijk and Lucie Linssen.

    The 50-minute film will be preceded by a short introduction by Lynn and Lucie.
