The LHC is the largest accelerator in a long chain of machines, each of which can only accelerate particles within a certain range of energies. Come and discover the special systems that are used to transfer the particles from one accelerator to another.

Come and discover the cutting-edge devices used to protect equipment and people from the huge amount of energy carried by the particle beams that are accelerated at CERN. Experts are on hand to explain the technical challenges of the design, fabrication and operation of absorbers, collimators and targets.

This parking gives you access to Point 6 - LHC.

Crepes

Come and listen to tunes mixed by CERN's DJs. They'll get you moving with uplifting tracks or relax you with chill-out music.

This check-in point will give you access to Point 6 - LHC, please bring your registration information with you to receive your wristband.

Come to this visit point to explore the cryogenic systems used to cool down to -271.35 Celsius all the superconducting magnets. They keep particle beams on course around the LHC's 27-kilometre ring.

First aid point for Point 6 LHC. A team of first aiders is available in cases of accidents or illness.

Marvel at these simple but entertaining experiments, often bordering on the magical, which demonstrate different states of matter and magnetism in a fun way.

This gate gives your access to Point 6 - LHC. It is compulsory to have a wristband that you first received at a check-in desk.
