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…

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…
