Description

The Dutch High-School Students Internship Programme 2018 will take place from 29 April - 11 May 2018. This programme is a unique opportunity for high-school students from CERN Member States to be introduced to CERN, its technologies and physics, as well as to learn through workshops and by shadowing, observing, and working with a member of personnel. 

CERN is looking forward to welcome the Dutch High-School Students here in Geneva, Switzerland!

        Elementaire deeltjes: het fundamentele gereedschap om het extreem kleine en extreem grote te bestuderen. 2h 13/2-005

        Elementaire deeltjes, de meest fundamentele bouwstenen van de natuur, kunnen worden gebruikt om de kleinste details van de natuur te bestuderen. Sinds enkele tientallen jaren weten we dat ze ook het essentiele ingredient zijn om het heelal op de allergrootste schaal te begrijpen. Door die twee richtingen bij elkaar te brengen zijn we een kleine twintig jaar geleden tot een verbijsterende ontdekking gekomen: We begrijpen bijna alles van 5% van heelal, terwijl we van 95% van de inhoud van het heelal niet weten wat het is. Die 95% onbekende substantie wordt uit onwetendheid maar donkere materie en energie genoemd. We proberen nu uit te vinden wat die donkere zooi is en dat doen we met alle beschikbare middelen, zowel bij de hoogste energie versnellers als bij de allergrootste observatoria van het heelal.

        Het CERN-versnellerscomplex is gedurende vele jaren opgebouwd, wat heeft geresulteerd in een grote hoeveelheid onderling verbonden versnellers die elk deeltjesbundels leveren aan een groot aantal verschillende experimenten.
        In deze interactieve workshop zullen we samen uitzoeken hoe deze versnellers werken en welke componenten nodig zijn.

        Om de botsingen in de LHC te bestuderen, zijn er op verschillende punten langs de versneller detectoren gebouwd. De data uit die detectoren wordt vervolgens nauwkeurig geanalyseerd, om bijvoorbeeld naar nieuwe deeltjes te zoeken. Ik zal uitleggen hoe de onderzoekers
        bij de LHC-experimenten de botsingen van de versneller selecteren, reconstrueren, analyseren en tenslotte interpreteren. Ik zal dit analyse-proces beschrijven aan de hand van het Higgs-boson, dat in 2012 op CERN ontdekt werd.
