http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/atomsmashers/ Fermilab is a premier U.S. government research laboratory focusing on particle physics. However with a growing national deficit, made worse by costly military conflicts and natural disasters, the lab struggles to survive. THE ATOM SMASHERS chronicles three years in a decades-long international race to find one of the most elusive sub-atomic particles ever theorized: the Higgs boson. In this clip, the staff at Fermilab absorbs the news that funding has been cut for the Tevitron particle accelerator. THE ATOM SMASHERS premieres Tuesday, November 25 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.
