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…

Teaching the Standard Model with charges and interactions
This article is part of the proceedings of the GIREP-MPTL conference 2018. It describes the key ideas and argumentation steps of the teaching approach developed by Netzwerk Teilchenwelt for the introduction of the base concepts of the Standard Model of particle physics, namely charges, interactions and particles. This approach is the basis for the four-volume…

Passeport pour les deux infinis / Passport to the two infinites
This book is a cornerstone of a French outreach initiative in particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics. The book is a reversible book, edited by a team of seven people and based on contributions from more than 50 people from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) , the Commissariat à l’énergie atomique (CEA), and…
