TOUR A: 18h00 – 18h40 : ATLAS Visitor Center
Visit the control room of the largest particle detector ever built : 7000 tons of steel and electronics, 3500 collaborators, 1 billion particle collision per second!
Find out more about the construction and operation of the Giant of physics with our 3D movie.
TOUR B: 18h00 – 18h40 : Synchrocyclotron
Visit CERN’s first accelerator. Built in 1957 it provided beams for CERN’s first experiments in particle and nuclear physics.
TOUR C: 18h00 – 19h00 : SM18 Cryomagnets facility
Visit the workshop where the largest (15m, 30 tons), coldest (1.9K) and most powerful (9 Tesla) magnets were assembled and tested to build the Large Hadron Collider.
Discover the engineering challenges faced when building the largest machine on earth.
