Special Exhibition in the Haus der Natur, Salzburg
teilchen.at -
From the smallest particles to the largest machine of the world
November 11th 2011 - March 15th 2012
What is dark matter? Does the Higgs particle really exist? What are the fundamental forces of the universe? And how can the largest particle accelerator in the world give answers to these questions? The special exhibition "teilchen.at" in the "Haus der Natur" in Salzburg delivers the most current answers.
Posters and models explain the fundamentals of particle physics, provide insight in the experiments at CERN and displays applications in medicine. Highlight of the exhibition is without doubt the spark chamber that makes the continuous "rain" of cosmic particles visible to the human eye.
Students of the pGORG St. Ursula school in Vienna dealt in a very creative way with the topics of particle physics - they designed comics! The best works are presented here.
When in September the spectacular news about the possible observation of superluminal neutrinos from CERN hit the media, we received a lot of inquiries, one of which stood out: 9-year-old Emil wrote: "I am so excited, because neutrinos seem to be faster than light - can you tell me more about it? I'd love to go to CERN!". On December 11th, his wish came true...
The Institute of High Energy Physics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences invites to a live broadcast of the seminar at CERN, where the CMS and the ATLAS Experiment report on the recent results on their search for the Higgs Boson.
Participation by invitation only.
