EXPLORE experiments, buildings and sites

Come to the ENLIGHT (European Network for Light Hadron Therapy) stand to learn the basic principles of particle therapy, which is based on particle accelerators and is becoming increasingly important for the treatment of cancer.

Prévessin

See a display of the protection gear used by CERN's fire and rescue service.

Prévessin

Discover the equipment that is used in the LHC tunnel to protect the LHC's electrical circuits in case of problems: electronic cards, large mechanical switches, diodes that can work in cryogenic conditions, power supplies, and more.

Point 4 - LHC

Visit one of CERN's largest experimental buildings, housing multiple experimental zones and four particle beam lines.

Prévessin

Discover the collections of the museum "Remise01", which reflect the dedication and courage of CERN's firefighters. Fire-fighting equipment and vehicles will be on display.

Point 5 - CMS
Point 5 - CMS

The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is a major upgrade of the LHC that aims to increase the number of particle collisions that occur each second and the amount of data that the experiments can gather and analyse. Come and discover the technologies that will make it possible.
