Want to see detectors designed to study neutrinos, the lightest known massive particles? Come to this guided tour of the protoDUNE detectors, prototypes for what will be a much larger liquid-argon DUNE detector at the US Long Baseline Neutrino Facility.
Discover radiation protection at CERN. Get explanations of the notions of natural and artificial radioactivity and learn about the measurement techniques used at CERN.
Discover the next generation of radio-frequency power amplifiers based on solid-state technology and see a 'travelling-wave cavity' to accelerate particles.
Do you like retrogaming and retrocomputing? Come and see an exhibition of computers and consoles from the 1980s and 1990s, such as Atari, Commodore, Amstrad, IBM, Sega and Nintendo.
See a section of the LHC tunnel used for evacuation training, the CERN's fire and rescue service and take part in a first-aid CPR challenge, fire-extinguisher training and more.
Come and see one of the first solar electric cars (from 1984 and still operational) and a Citroen Dyane being charged up by solar power. You will be able to learn how solar electric or thermal panels work.
Come here to learn how superconducting radio-frequency cavities are cooled in liquid helium to accelerate beams in CERN machines to the highest energies. You will also learn how cavities are produced and tested, and you will see real cavities on display.
At this visit point you will be able to see life-size models of LHC components and the technology used to test magnet prototypes (superconducting or otherwise) for the collider.
What does CERN have to do with 3D colour x-rays and 19th century paintings? Head to IdeaSquare to join experts from CERN's Knowledge Transfer group who will tell you all about the impact of the technological and human capital developed at CERN in areas such as medical and biomedical technologies, aerospace applications and cultural heritage.
