Let’s have a coffee with the Standard Model of particle physics!
The Standard Model of particle physics is one of the most successful theories in physics and describes the fundamental interactions between elementary particles. It is encoded in a compact description, the so-called ‘Lagrangian’, which even fits on t-shirts and coffee mugs. This mathematical formulation, however, is complex and only rarely makes it into the physics…

Journey to the Unimaginably Strange
This video concentrates on the LHC and the strangeness of our universe it is designed to study. Subjects include What happens within the LHC Theory of relativity How “Sat Nav” or Global Positioning Systems (GPS) work for cars and the possibility of errors in their measurement Extra dimentions Higgs field Mass Mini black holes mini…

laradioactivite.com
This web site intends to introduce radioactivity and its applications to the general public. It has been created and maintained by physicists with the help of the Science Editor EDP-Sciences (EDITIONS DE PHYSIQUE) and with the help of the Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et Physique des Particules (IN2P3).

CERN Brochure – Destination Universe: The Incredible Journey of a Proton in the Large Hadron Collider
A 55 page color-A4 booklet.This brochure illustrates the incredible journey of a proton as he winds his way through the CERN accelerator chain and ends up inside the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is CERN’s flagship particle accelerator which can collide protons together at close to the speed of light, creating circumstances like those…

Bubble chamber
Dive into the fascinating world of bubble chambers and analyse tracks of high-energy particles with your students. We have developed several activities for advanced high-school students, in which they study bubble chamber photographs and try to work out for themselves what they show. You can find a student worksheet describing these activities (including solutions and…

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…

Muon Spectrometer in the ATLAS detector on the LHC at CERN
This colorful 3D animation is an excerpt from the film “ATLAS-Episode II, The Particles Strike Back.” Shot with a bug’s eye view of the inside of the detector. The viewer is shown the design of the Muon Spectrometer, what happens when particles pass through it and what it measures. Running time : 1min 17 sec
