CERN Accelerating science

<p>the framework of the local CNRS club and its regular conference and workshop programme, Yann Coadou will present the scientific context, past discoveries, ongoing studies and bright future of the Large hadron collider (LHC) at CERN. This is the continuation of a longstanding collaboration between the Centre de physique des particules de Marseille and the Lycée Lætitia Bonaparte. This conference, following a day-long particle physics masterclass for some of the students, will include a live connection with a scientist at CERN, leading us into a virtual visit of the ATLAS detector, the largest experiment at the LHC, while answering questions from the audience.</p>
