Nicolas Arnaud
After earning a PhD in the Virgo experiment (direct detection of gravitational waves) and spending a year as a CERN fellow with the LHCb collaboration, Nicolas joined the Centre National de la Recherche Scientific (IN2P3/CNRS) in Orsay as a staff physicist. He then began working on the BaBar experiment and for this spent four years…

Despina Hatzifotiadou
Despina studied physics at the University of Thessaloniki, in Greece. She obtained her PhD from the same University on a baryonium experiment at LEAR, CERN. After a two-year CERN fellowship with OPAL she remained at CERN working on detector development projects (LAA) and the L3 experiment. Since 2000 she has been working for the ALICE…

The LHC and the Higgs Boson (but its early in the game)
Buried 100m below the French / Swiss countryside, between the Alps and the Jura Mountains, is a 27km tunnel housing the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This chain of superconducting magnets accelerates protons to high energies and then collides them in four different underground halls. Inside these halls are enormous, highly complex particle detectors, each…

3D-printable Quark Puzzle
Quarks are fundamental particles in the Standard Model of particle physics. They make up the protons and neutrons that we are familiar with, but also a zoo of other more exotic particle systems like pions and kaons. Quarks have never been isolated; they always form groups of two or three. But what are the rules…

3D-Printable Quadrupole Ion Trap
Quadrupole ion traps can be used to trap electrically charged particles. At CERN, the GBAR experiment at the antimatter factory uses this particle trap to store anti-hydrogen-ions. Below you can find building instruction for 3D-printable quadrupole ion trap capable of trapping electrically charged “macroscopic particles” such as cinnamon of lycopodium spores. The trap uses an…
