Passeport Big Bang
On June 2nd CERN will celebrate the inauguration of the new Passeport Big Bang, an educative tour around the Large Hadron Collider.
As part of the inauguration event, I’ll be exhibiting the LEGO® ATLAS model and put up the station on the tour where visitors can win prices by building their own miniature models. For that purpose, and with the help from CERN, the HEP group at NBI and my private LEGO® collection, I put up a little box :)
If successful, we’ll doing the same thing during Kulturnatten in Copenhagen, October 11th 2013.
End of run
Today the first (real) running period of the LHC ended. We’ll have a shutdown of about two years to repair, upgrade and whatnot the LHC and the experiments. And of course a lot of time to analyse the data we took in the past years … for the moment that still means searching for long-lived stable massive particles for me. Let’s see what comes next …
CERN Open Day 2013
It’s official, CERN will have another Open Day in September this year.
On Saturday, September 28th you can visit CERN if you know someone working there and on Sunday, September 29th everybody can have a look!
On the previous Open Day in 2008, we managed to see all experiments and the tunnel during the friend-and-family day. So let me know if you wanna join this year’s tour (again).
The CMS model is out in public
I’ve already seen it a few months ago, but finally the CMS LEGO model went public on the web site of the high energy physics group of the University of Maryland.
I must say, it is a very nice piece of work!
Let’s see if I can convince my LEGO friends to produce a few of these as well!
