DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Gijs De Rijk\, Niklas Herff (CERN)\, Francois Briard
  (CERN)\, Alejandra Lorenzo Gomez (CERN)\n\n\nIn the era of the FCC as a p
 otential next step in CERN's accelerator complex\, it's a good time to loo
 k back and see how it all began at CERN.\nGijs de Rijk\, retired accelerat
 or physicist and CERN Guide\, will take us through the different eras of C
 ERN's accelerators in a lecture exploring both their history and the physi
 cs behind them. For several accelerators\, we will discuss why there was b
 uilt\, how it evolved over time\, and how it contributed to our understand
 ing of the Standard Model.\nSome basic knowledge/interest of accelerators 
 and particle physics is recommended (e.g. what an eV is\, which particles 
 make up the Standard Model\, and why higher energies are needed to produce
  heavier particles).\n \nThe talk will take ~45 min. with time for questi
 ons afterwards.\nPresentation in English | A recording is planned (no live
  zoom event)\nPlease register through Indico if you want to participate.\n
