Liverpool Physics
Description

The Liverpool@CERN Particle Physics School will take place from 18 to 22 August 2025.ย 

This school, designed specifically for high school students, will serve as an introduction to Particle Physics, covering the main areas of interest in the field.

The school comprises of lectures by University of Liverpool PhD students and post-docs, to be complemented by visits to CERN and ATLAS.

Students will have the opportunity to further explore some of the topics presented in the school with a group activity, where they will choose a new physics phenomena of their interest and present possible ideas on how could future experiments detect it.
