Particle physics recap

I found these interesting video and powerpoint resources to brush up on my current understanding of the sub-atomic (and pre-historic astronomical) cafetaria.

There is an introductory video at Youtube and a BBC Horizon report on LHC at CERN (the date has changed to May 2008 though).

An introduction to particle physics provides very good powerpoint introduction to the topic and this is the Link to several excellent powerpoint slides.

But nothing beats the fab website The Particle Adventure at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). They even had the time to make the quarks dance :-).

Thanks for these. Very useful! I am still trying to get my head around Brownian Motion today!
