Foreword
These documents have been written in 1998-99 for friends
and colleagues planning to visit CERN, or looking for information
about projects there.
They were written long before theavailability of CERN-Public
pages, which may now supply the same or better information.
Things have changed since: the LEP accelerator has been dismantled,
and so have the LEP experiments. Refer to the official information when needed. More
and more links within CERN Webpages are broken, and not much
can be done about it.
Physics
Accelerators, Particles
and Experiments (18 pg) + Figures.
On the purpose and methods of High-Energy Physics Research.
Somewhat abstract and conceptual. Read before sleeping!
Also: the periodic system of
Elementary Particles
Neutrino's Research.
Experiments with neutrinos beams from accelerators.
Some Experiments
The CMS experiment:
one of the largest for the future LHC accelerator (year 2005).
CMS Technical Description -
Figures. See if
needed the official site.
Alice "A Large
Ion Collider Experiment" at the LHC. A Bridgeview application
has been developed for a subset of the detector.
Asacusa (Atomic Spectroscopy
using very-very-slow anti-protons, 3pg).
Athena (Apparatus
for High precision Experiments on Neutral Atoms, 3pg).
Figures.
The LHC String
(3 pg). A “string” consisting of two LHC magnets and
a quadrupole - i.e. half of an LHC magnetic “cell” -
has been built for a series of tests.
