Alumni Day 2011 On September 23rd we welcomed University alumni to the Cavendish. Our spark chamber and Discovering Particles stand were again put to good use. A mock-up of an LHC dipole magnet on loan from CERN prompted many questions from our visitors about the progress of the Large Hadron Collider. |

DiscoveringParticles In partnership with the particle physics group at the University of Birmingham, we exhibited at this year's Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition - ScienceLive. Visit our exhibit website - Discovering Particles - The Fundamental Building Blocks of the Universe - and experience the world of particles and the Large Hadron Collider.
