The Zooniverse project team has launched a citizen scientists initiative to search through ATLAS data. Here is their introduction:

Hey there,
Today we launched our latest citizen science project, and it's a real beauty!

On Higgs Hunters we need you to look through data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, where protons are smashed together at one billion kilometres per hour in order to create new particles and give us a better understanding of the building blocks that make up our Universe.

Specifically we are asking you to search through roughly 90,000 images from the ATLAS detector for tiny sub-atomic explosions caused when a Higgs boson 'dies', which some scientists think could generate a new kind of particle, previously undetected.

Begin your search for new and exciting particles now at http://www.higgshunters.org

Thanks for your continued help and support,

Grant & the Zooniverse Team

I was one of the originals there and in the top 5 of the galaxy identification members.

But after about one year it turned out to be a waste of time and was more like being a facebook member.

After several conversations with Chris Lintott I found he usually didn't know what he was talking about and that his only goal was to get on tv and see if he could be his own version of Michio Kaku without the knowledge of physics that Michio has.

Soon after I had to block their spam emails

That is about all I want to say here Michael

Other than we have plenty of Cern work here with the LHC,vLHC,and Atlas (along with the Einstein Project)
