Students thrive at first 'Beam line for schools'

摘要

CERN welcomes many visitors from schools each year, but two small groups who arrived in September had a particularly special experience when they worked in a real beam line and collected data for their own experiments. The student teams from Athens and Nijmegen were the winners of CERN's first "Beam line for schools" competition. Selected out of nearly 300 entries, they were able to spend 10 days conducting their proposed experiments in the T9 test beam at CERN's Proton Synchrotron (PS).
