February 11th marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a significant observance designated by the United Nations to honour the invaluable contributions of women in the field of science. In this article, we embark on a special exploration dedicated to the remarkable women who have made indelible marks in the world of particle physics.

Particle Physics, a branch of science, seeks to understand the fundamental nature of the universe by analysing the particles that constitute matter and the forces that govern their interactions. At the heart of this discipline lies the Standard Model, a theoretical framework that describes elementary particles and fundamental forces.

Few days ago, the 26th IPPOG Meeting has been held at CERN from 27 to 30 November 2023.

Days 1-2: November 27-28 - Working Groups and Steering Groups meeting

The Particle Therapy Masterclass stands as a cornerstone within the International Physics Masterclasses (flagship project of IPPOG). Coordinated by GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, these masterclasses showcase the direct translation of fundamental research into revolutionary medical applications.

Exciting News! Get ready for the cosmic celebration of the 12th International Cosmic Day on November 21, 2023!
