The Glasgow Particle Physics Schools Masterclass
Interested in subatomic particles, the world of quantum physics, accelerators, colliders and the Big Bang? In 2011 the Particle Physics group at the University of Glasgow will once again hold a one-day schools event for students going into 6th year.
Experience some of the excitement of research in a rapidly-developing field, with hands-on sessions in particle detection and analysis of real collider data, led by experts working at CERN and Fermilab.
The day-long event - happening this year on Tuesday 14th June - will be held in the Kelvin Building at the University of Glasgow. There is no charge and lunch will be provided. However participation is by advance booking only, and the limited places will be allocated by ballot.
See booking information below.
The Glasgow Particle Physics Schools Masterclass
If you are a pupil and would like to attend, please talk to your physics teacher in the first instance.
If you are a teacher, you should receive an email invitation via the Institute of Physics network Sputnik. Please send requests for places to masterclass@physics.gla.ac.uk. In the case of oversubscription a ballot is generally held in March each year in order to allocate places to school groups.
This masterclass is part of a National Particle Physics Masterclass series held throughout the UK.
