A guided day inside CERN

A Day at CERN organizes its introduction to particle physics around a visit through the laboratory’s working spaces. The route connects the accelerator control room, the Computing Centre, the auditorium associated with the 2012 Higgs boson announcement, and the ATLAS cavern, while tracing the path particles take toward collisions. Encounters with researchers and attention to CERN’s installations bring the scientific work into view alongside questions about how research relates to everyday life. The book offers a place-based overview of a large research collaboration and the facilities, people, and particle journey that shape its work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Readers seeking an accessible introduction to CERN and particle physics

Book overview

What lies within CERN's entrails? What is the path followed by the particles that are accelerated before they collide? What does the ATLAS detector look like? Does research at CERN find applications in everyday life? From the accelerator control room to the huge Computing Centre, via the auditorium where the discovery of the Higgs boson was announced in July 2012, I invite you to experience for one day an immersion in the world of research in particle physics! Discovering emblematic installations at CERN, walking through the places where people spend every working day, meeting with researchers in various fields, descending into the ATLAS cavern ... Our visit, whose path will mimic that of the particles during their journey, will be full of anecdotes and surprises. Follow me for a guided tour of CERN, the largest scientific collaboration in the world!
