CERN excursion

All participants attended either the lecture "Introduction to Nuclear and
Particle Physics" on the Bachelor's degree course in Physics or the lecture "Structure of Matter",
which is offered as part of the Medical Physics course. The students got into the mood for the
excursion on the bus with a quiz and a poetry competition. There was a wide-ranging program of visits at CERN.
The students were first able to visit the underground structures of the LHCb and Alice experiments
and were shown around by local experts.
There was also the opportunity to see the anti-proton "decelerator".
Due to construction work, there was even the rare opportunity to view the structure up close
. A visit to the computer center and the ATLAS control room provided further
insights into the day-to-day work of particle physics. The excursion was rounded off with a visit to the Science Museum on Lake Geneva, where a large number of historical physics experiments are on display.
