So here is the final "Paint-o-Clock" output. I think it looks rather good!
For those of you wondering, the pictures are:
- A Segment of CMS being lowered under ground, with a muon chamber being fitted.
- The Wilson Hall at Fermilab
- A simulated Higgs event in CMS
- Super-K and the T2K near detector and a cosmic ray air shower.

A couple of crucial points:
First, the right hand panel contains the T2K Near Detector, Super-Kamiokande, cosmic rays, and KamLAND. Regarding the last of these, the 1st year postgrads are able to tell you all about it, er, since Monday.
Second, which I'm sure some of our colleagues who have been posting on this blog will appreciate; it would take rather sharper eyes than most to spot the "small contribution" from the SciBooNE experiment, but it is there, underground at Fermilab....
SciBooNE in HEP Masterpiece
Note the pink MRD. Now, what was it that SciBooNE does again?
What a great detail, and a great question!
SciBooNE is a small experiment at Fermilab which will measure the neutrino and antineutrino cross sections of all the processes that will form the signals and backgrounds for the T2K neutrino oscillation experiment. We will use the Booster Neutrino Beam, which also feeds neutrinos to MiniBooNE and has a neutrino energy flux spanning the peak energies expected in the T2K off-axis beam from J-PARC - a nearly perfect match, actually!
We at Imperial are involved because of the important physics input that SciBooNE will provide for T2K. I am co-spokesperson, along with Tsuyoshi Nakaya from Kyoto University. Also, Joe Walding is doing his PhD work on SciBooNE.
Perhaps we can get Joe to describe the detector...
