High Five for the Hadron

You'll be able to identify experimental physicists (Leonard's) right about now by the high fives they'll be giving each other and and the grin's on their faces. The LHC has just smashed protons at a nano slower than the speed of light at a record energy of 7 billion billion EV (electron volts) and its all been captured by ATLAS for the Sheldon's of this world to pour over the data and do what they do best, think.
