See part of a working accelerator facility, the recent user facility for accelerator R&D CLEAR, learn about how it operates, and find out about the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study, which used a former test facility from which CLEAR evolved.
Visit the two-beam modules laboratory and get a sneak preview of what the proposed future Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) accelerator could look like. The lab contains three prototype two-beam modules, mechanical mock-ups used to study this principal building block of CLIC.
Discover the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), a study for a possible future machine to collide electrons and positrons (antielectrons) at 3 teraelectronvolts based on novel technologies such as two-beam acceleration.
In this hands-on workshop, you will build your own particle detector using dry ice and isopropanol to make cosmic particles and natural radiation visible.
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science" said Albert Einstein. Come and see the CMS art exhibition.
Descend 100 metres underground and take a walk in the cathedral-sized cavern that houses the 14 000-tonne CMS detector - one of the two experiments that discovered the Higgs boson! The detector is located in the 27-km subterranean tunnel that contains the LHC - the world's largest scientific instrument!
