Take a short quiz to find out which elementary particle fits your personality best. After the quiz, you can collect a pin with your particle and compare your particle personality with others.

Take a peek into the PX45 pit, which is used to lower equipment 140 metres down into the LHC tunnel.

Team up with a physicist to build a working model of an accelerator using simple material, such as a salad bowl, a ping-pong ball and conductive tape.

Is football your thing? Come here to play football with protons: the harder you kick, the more particles are produced. Try also an interactive experiment that illustrates the Higgs field through which particles gain mass, and an interactive game that shows how proton therapy works.

Are you faster than the LHC fast protection system? To protect the LHC in the event of a problem, the huge energy stored in the LHC particle beams must be discharged in less than a thousandth of a second. Test your reaction time and try to beat the LHC fast protection systems.

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.
