International Organisations Portuguese Visit

Friday 19 Jan 2024, 13:15 → 22:00 Europe/Zurich

Esta página contém a informação necessária para a visita da delegação portuguesa ao CERN no dia 19 de Janeiro de 2024.

Além da agenda do dia, contém os links com descrições dos diversos pontos a visitar, informações relativas às regras de segurança a observar, bem como links com as coordenadas Google Maps dos respectivos parques des estacionamento.

O registo é obrigatório. O número de lugares é limitado e por ordem de inscrição. Após o registo, um badge de acesso ao CERN será também enviado por e-mail a cada um dos participantes.

O transporte deverá ser organizado pelos visitantes (car sharing). As matrículas das viaturas terão que ser registadas pelos respectivos proprietários aquando do registo da visita, selecionando a box "I'm coming by car" no formulário.

No formulário por favor indiquem a presença no jantar e qual a preferência entre as duas opções propostas.

Os horários serão cumpridos rigorosamente, pelo que se aconselha chegar mais cedo para que todos possam integrar o grupo da visita.

 

O formulário de registo será fechado no dia 17 de Janeiro e os badges emitidos aos participantes registados.

17:15 → 17:45 Visit to the Synchrocyclotron (SC)

The 600 MeV Synchrocyclotron (SC), built in 1957, was CERN’s first accelerator. It provided beams for CERN’s first experiments in particle and nuclear physics. In 1964, this machine started to concentrate on nuclear physics alone, leaving particle physics to the newer and more powerful Proton Synchrotron. The SC became a remarkably long-lived machine. In 1967, it started supplying beams for a dedicated radioactive-ion-beam facility called ISOLDE, which still carries out research ranging from pure nuclear physics to astrophysics and medical physics. In 1990, ISOLDE was transferred to the Proton Synchrotron Booster, and the SC closed down after 33 years of service.
Visit limited to the first 24 people registered.

18:00 → 18:30 Visit to the Antimatter Factory and the Extra Low Energy Antiproton (ELENA)

CERN's antimatter factory is the only place in the world where antiatoms are created on a daily basis.
It contains the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) and Extra Low Energy Antiproton (ELENA) machines which deliver antiprotons to various experiments where they are combined with antielectrons, forming antihydrogen atoms.
Antimatter, which was predicted by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928, is made of antiparticles which have the same mass than their corresponding particles, but with an opposite electric charge.
When matter and antimatter come into contact, they annihilate, which makes producing and trapping antimatter quite challenging.
