I am currently coordinating a group analysing collisions where hadronic particles are produced, as well as a group that has to decide what collisions to select out of the 40 millions per second produced at the Large Hadron Collider. We are members of a larger group, and all together are making sense of the results of this big experiment
My Typical Day:

going to meetings, talking to people, writing and reading articles

go to Cern, read emails (often read them from home before going to the office), talk to y students, go to meetings where we discuss the directions to take for the trigger and for the analysis; write some analysis code, sometimes some articles, read and review articles and conference presentations from people working in my group
What I'd do with the prize money:

write website and applications to explain the evolution of physics to the public

physics is really interconnected, and a textbook narrative only goes in one direction, while the connections are really multidimensional. I believe much more can be done through the web, or the development of applications for smartphone, to explain the connections between the many aspects of science
