Introducing the LHC in the classroom: an overview of education resources available
In the context of the recent re-start of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the challenge presented by unidentified falling objects (UFOs), we seek to facilitate the introduction of high energy physics in the classroom. Therefore, this paper provides an overview of the LHC and its operation, highlighting existing education resources, and linking principal components…

ALICE Collaboration
JOINED: 2016 CURRENT STATUS: MEMBER LOCAL RESOURCES WEBSITE:ALICE resources website ALICE is a heavy-ion experiment, designed to study the collisions of nuclei at the ultra-relativistic energies provided by the LHC. The aim is to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at the highest energy densities reached so far in the laboratory. In such conditions,…
