On Tuesday 16 January, 26 students dropped into the live Chat to meet the scientists working on CERN research projects! Thanks to the scientists from LHCb, ISOLDE and Beam Team who came along.
Take a look at a few of our favourite moments
Drop in to the live Chat next Tuesday, 16 January, between 12.30pm and 1.30pm.
Get to know the scientists working on nuclear physics research projects at CERN. Across the hour you can ask them questions about themselves, their work or their life at CERN.
You can join in on conversations your peers are having and get a better understanding of why studying physics beyond school might be something for you.
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.
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 ❯
