LHCb
About your project:
LHCb is one of the biggest experiments of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is designed to explore what happened just after the Big Bang.
-
ISOLDE
About your project:
At ISOLDE, radioactive nuclides are produced via spallation, fission, or fragmentation reactions in a thick target, irradiated with a proton beam from the PSB at an energy of 1.4 GeV and an intensity up to 2 microA. The target and ion source are fast physico-chemical devices.

CMS
About your project:
CMS is a general-purpose detector at the LHC. It has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the Standard Model (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter.

Beam Team
About your project:
We are the Beam Team, we are members of the ABP (Accelerator and Beam Physics) Group at CERN.
CERN has a Beams department. The Beams department is responsible for the beam generation, acceleration, diagnostics, controls and performance optimisation for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its injector accelerators.
Within the Beams department is the Accelerator and Beam Physics (ABP) Group. ABP is responsible for studying and understanding the beam dynamics over the complete CERN Accelerator Complex (that’s all of CERN’s accelerators!) through theoretical, simulation and experimental studies. The group provides input and support for machine operations, devising settings and scenarios to optimise the machine performance. It is also responsible for working out concepts and ideas for future accelerators.

ALPHA
About your project:
ALPHA an international collaboration based at CERN, and which is working with trapped antihydrogen atoms, the antimatter counterpart of the simplest atom, hydrogen. By precise comparisons of hydrogen and antihydrogen, the experiment hopes to study fundamental symmetries between matter and antimatter.

AEgIS
About your project:
All fundamental processes in nature (on the level of atoms, and even subatomic scales) are quite well described by the “standard model of physics”. One key feature of this model is that each matter particle (proton, neutron, electron, even the quarks) has a twin particle, an anti-particle (antiproton, antineutron, anti-electron [= positrons] or anti-quarks).
