Tomorrow, you can go behind the doors of CERN with a live tour of the Large Hadron Collider beauty facility!
This is a one-off opportunity! Take a look at the most powerful particle accelerator ever built and get your questions answered by the team working at CERN.
Next Tuesday, we will discover what’s behind the doors of CERN with a live tour of the Large Hadron Collider beauty facility!
This is an exclusive chance, with only 290 other students invited to attend. Take a look at the most powerful particle accelerator ever built and get your questions answered by the team working at CERN.
Jonathan will take us around the facility, showing us parts of the facility that can’t be accessed by the public!
Yesterday, students discovered what CP violation is, with Joel’s excellent magic wand analogy, and deepened their understanding about how developing the Standard Model theory has changed our view of the universe.
9 scientists came along to the text-based, online Chat at 3.30pm. Aspiring physicists from a school in Kent logged in and asked the questions that interested them.
The Standard Model is the best understanding we have about how three of the four fundamental forces governs the universe. But this theory is incomplete! Scientists at CERN are working to develop and research this theory.
Tomorrow, drop in across the hour to meet the scientists working on this research. Find out what happens when they make a new discovery and when they find a flaw in the theory. Ask them the questions that interest you and deepen your understanding of the Standard Model.
💬 Tuesday 10 October, 3.30pm to 4.30pm💬

Get ahead! Take a look at the pre-reading material, including some information from Jonathan about how the LHCb is trying to build a better version of the Standard Model. Read more here:
Can a sheet of crystal the size of your ruler bend a beam from CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron!? The Beam Team were recently joined by scientists from SELDOM to find out.
Kay from the Beam Team talks us through how they set up an experiment involving crystals and pion beams, and why the results were so exciting…
Students from 2 schools got the opportunity to ask 8 CERN scientists from 4 team.
The students chatted about the quarks, quantum mechanics, the “cosmological constant problem”, simulations and of course, what would happen if you walked into a particle accelerator when it was running. The open Chat meant it was quick and easy for aspiring physicists to drop in and find out about CERN life.
Get ready to deepen your understanding of experimental nuclear physics and get to know teams of physicists working at CERN.
A great addition to your UCAS application. Stand out from the crowd by sharing your participation in this independent learning activity.
🗨️ Chats
The first Chat is tomorrow, Tuesday 12 September. Come along between 12.30pm and 1.30pm to meet the people working at CERN. Find out more ❯
Join the Chat on Tuesday 12 September, and get to know the scientists in the CERN Zone.
They’ll be spending their lunchtime chatting with you – just come along at any point between 12.30pm and 1.30pm to join in.
Welcome back to the CERN Zone. And welcome to our newest team of physicists. The Beam Team is responsible for studying and understanding the different beams (proton, electron, ion etc.) for all of CERN’s accelerators.
Welcome them to the Zone by taking a look at their profile and asking them a question ❯
