University event offered by University of Sheffield
Full Day
Are you interested in hunting down elusive particles such as the Z or Higgs Boson using real data analysis at ATLAS? Join us for a particle physics taster day and gain experience of this incredible subject. Collaborate with researchers from across the globe, including those working at CERN!
(Session description): The University of Sheffield's School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences is offering a Particle Physics taster day for year 12 and 13 students studying physics and maths. Spend a day experiencing life as a particle physicist and engaging with hands on data analysis at ATLAS. Not only will you learn more about this fascinating subject, you’ll get to take part in a particle hunt for the Z Boson and the Higgs Boson.
You will share your findings across the globe with researchers who work at CERN, as well as other contributors from the UK, Mozambique, Brazil, Greece, and Germany. On top of sampling life as a student studying physics at the University of Sheffield, you will have the opportunity to develop transferable skills, learn more about career pathways and speak with our student ambassadors who are currently studying with us.
