14. Lecture Applied Superconductivity at CERN

26/03/2019, 12:00

At CERN unique technology is used and the Higgs boson would not have been discovered without technologies based on a fundamental physics phenomenon seen for the first time ever in the Netherlands more than one hundred years ago: superconductivity. Cavities, accelerator magnets and detector magnets integrated in the LHC and its experiments all rely on superconductivity!

12. Lecture Higgs search and dark matter

A young but renowned NIKHEF colleague will tell about his own contributions to the discovery of the Higgs boson, his personal experience as a researcher at CERN and his present interest in particle physics, in specifically dark matter research.

28. Lecture Knowledge Transfer

At CERN unique technology is used and typically the unique equipment is not an off-the-shelf product, but is rather designed and developed at CERN (in collaboration with universities, research institutes and companies). Knowledge Transfer is important within the organization as well as towards the outside world. A KT-fund is able to financially support new ideas and potentially interesting...

16. Lecture Silicon detectors

Silicon detectors are used in almost all (high energy) particle physics experiments. Silicon or semi-conductors in general are used in all electronics, since they are the basis of transistors and the reason why integrated circuits and chips are able to be smaller and smaller, when the right production techniques are used. Properties of the material, the historic development, wavers and...
