Physicists Visit CERN in Switzerland
Thirty Marling physicists visited CERN in Geneva, home to the world’s largest particle accelerator. This annual trip is exclusive to A Level physicists.
They explored the new visitors’ centre with interactive exhibits and went 88 metres underground to see the CMS detector, part of the 27km Large Hadron Collider. This collider accelerates protons to 99.99992% of the speed of light, simulating early universe conditions and providing insights into fundamental forces. Students asked insightful questions about the LHC’s future and the CMS detector, which captures 40 million 3D images per second. We look forward to returning next year!
