Join the Chat on Tuesday 16 January, and get to know the scientists in the CERN Zone.
Between 12.30pm and 1.30pm, meet the scientists working at CERN and those based around the world working on the nuclear physics research projects.

Yesterday saw another Chat between students and the scientists working with CERN facilities. 20 students from 4 different schools/ colleges came along to ask their questions to Joel, Vichayanun and Patrick.
Take a look at a few of our favourite moments!
🌌The universe is filled with treacle?
Tomorrow, drop in across the hour to meet the scientists working at CERN. Chat to them about the Higgs boson particle and anything else about CERN that interests you. Continue reading

The Higgs boson was discovered at CERN in 2012. It’s rare, being created in only 1 in a billion Large Hadron Collider collisions. It’s discovery has confirmed the existence of the Higgs field, a field that fills the entire Universe.
Next Tuesday, 12 December, between 12.30pm and 1.30pm, drop in across the hour to meet the scientists working with the Higgs boson
Last Tuesday,14 November, 45+ students from 14 schools came along to the CERN Zone to watch Jonathan, Janina and other members of the Large Hadron Collider beauty team tour the facility and share more about their work. 
We were able to get an behind-the-scenes view of the control room and the cavern which sits 103m below ground.
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.
