Pictured: an event seen the in CMS detector which is consistent with the decay of a Higgs boson to two photons
On Tuesday and Thursday this week 100 school students will join us for a Particle Physics Masterclass.
The programme includes talks on the fundamentals of particle physics, latest results and 'design your own detector' activities.
All the activities are run by staff and postgraduate students from the Particle Physics group giving the pupils the chance to discuss particle physics with researchers on the CMS experiment, one of the two experiments which last year announced the discovery of the Higgs Boson.
