Visit to CERN

Virtual visit of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) at CERN.

During this visit of CERN, girls will have the unique opportunity to explore the CMS detector experimental site virtually. The CMS scientists will explain the physics and technology behind the experiment, show the surface and underground areas at Cessy and answer questions.

The CMS is a versatile detector, meaning that it is designed to observe any new physics that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might reveal. The LHC, with its length of 27 km, is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator ever built. The CMS is located at one of the four collision points, named Point 5.

This visit covers a broad physics programme .The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC ). The CMS experiment is one of the largest international scientific collaborations in history, involving 4300 particle physicists, engineers, technicians, students and support staff from 182 institutes in 42 countries.

Location : Meyrin then Cessy, France.
