Intro
Slovenia has been involved with various big particle physics projects almost as long as it has been a country. Indeed, the first collaboration agreement between CERN and Slovenia dates back to the same year (1991). However, Slovenian physicists were already involved with various particle physics experiments before that time. Nowadays, Slovenian scientific institutions collaborate with the ATLAS experiment at CERN, experiments Belle and Belle II at KEK, and observatory Pierre Auger. Slovenian physicists also organise various Masterclasses, science shows, talks and open days for high-school students, as well as co-coordinate Slovenian Teacher Programmes in connection with CERN.

Slovenija se v svet fizike delcev vključuje skoraj od prvega dne samostojnosti. Prvi sporazum med Slovenijo in CERNom je bil tako sklenjen že leta 1991. Slovenski fiziki pa so bili v razne eksperimente fizike delcev po svetu vključeni že pred tem. Danes razne slovenske raziskovalne institucije v fiziki delcev sodelujejo z eksperimentom ATLAS v CERNu, eksperimentoma Belle in Belle II v KEKu in observatorijem Pierre Auger. Poleg tega slovenski fiziki in fizičarke organizirajo različne Masterclass-e, znanstvene predstave, predavanja in dneve odprtih vrat za dijake in dijakinje. V sodelovanjem s CERNom pa organizirajo tudi programe za slovenske učitelje in učiteljice.

Representative
Tadej Novak
Tadej Novak is a researcher at the Experimental Particle Physics Department at the Jožef Stefan Institute. He participates in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He focuses on data analysis and developing new methods for detector simulations. He places great emphasis on the use of machine learning to improve the accuracy and speed of research methods.
Tadej is an active guide both at the Jožef Stefan Institute and at CERN. For many years he has helped with the success of International Masterclasses both as local organiser and moderator at CERN. He is also the country representative for the CERN's Beamline for Schools programme.
Tadej Novak je raziskovalec na Odseku za eksperimentalno fiziko osnovnih delcev na Institutu "Jožef Stefan", kjer sodeluje pri eksperimentu ATLAS na Velikem hadronskem trkalniku v CERNu. Osredotoča se na analizo podatkov z eksperimenta in razvojem novih metod simulacije trkov. Velik poudarek daje na uporabo strojnega učenja z namenom izboljšanja natančnosti in hitrosti raziskovalnih metod.
Tadej je aktiven vodnik tako po Institutu Jožef Stefan kot po CERN-u. Že vrsto let pomaga pri uspehu mednarodne delavnice "International Masterclasses" kot lokalni organizator in moderator v CERN-u. Je tudi slovenski predstavnik CERN-ovega programa "Beamline for Schools".
