Khazar University invites you to take part in the CERN tour on 4^th August 2018.

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature

The instruments used at CERN are purpose-built particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before the beams are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.

Participating in this tour You will learn:

• What is the Higgs Boson and what does it tell us about the origins of the Universe? 
• What are the great questions of contemporary physics? 
• What is the role of CERN, its focus and objectives? 
• What are the experiments conducted on its premises?

Everyone is welcome. For further information please contact by e-mail falimardanova@khazar.org.

Deadline for registration: July 12, 2018.
