Want to try welding components in virtual reality or measuring your height with a laser? Come and see how mechanical components for particle-physics experiments are created, from design to fabrication using state-of-the-art machines.
Come and see MEDICIS (Medical Isotopes Collected from ISOLDE), a new facility to produce a wide range of medical radioisotopes and send them primarily to research hospitals and centres in Switzerland and across Europe for research in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
From the infinitely large to the infinitely small, the Microcosm exhibition and the interactive LHC tunnel will provide the keys to unlock the secrets of matter. This exhibition can be visited throughout the year, see visit.cern.
Discover the NA61/SHINE experiment, which studies the properties of particles produced in collisions of protons, or other hadronic particles, with an assortment of fixed targets.
Discover the NA62 experiment, an experiment in CERN's North Area that directs particle beams onto fixed targets. The experiment aims to precisely test the Standard Model by looking for rare transformations of particles called charged kaons.
Discover the NA64 experiment and how it directs a proton beam from the Super Proton Synchrotron into a fixed target to search for an invisible form of matter called dark matter which makes up the most of the mass of the Universe.
Head to this tent to see a model of the ProtoDUNE detector cryostat, the largest ever cryostat made for a particle-physics experiment. Adults and kids alike will be able to put on the type of garments used by the detector operators and take a souvenir picture at a selfie station. A virtual visit to the future DUNE detector is also available.
