The Imperial College Physics Department is again hosting a full day Particle Physics Masterclass.
We Invite sixth form Physics students and their teachers to come and find out about the exciting world of Experimental Particle Physics from one of the largest Particle Physics research groups in the country. We have run the Masterclass successfully in a similar format for a number of years.
The day will start with an Introduction to the Group and the experiments and talks about current hot topics in Particle Physics . After lunch, the programme will continue and the students can have a first-hand experience of particle physics data analysis followed by further talks and discussions.
Reservations, indicating the number of students and accompanying teachers, can be made using the online form. Please note, that the booking will only be valid once a payment of £5 per person to cover the cost of refreshments has been made. Booking deadline is the 22nd March 2019.
All attendees will be contacted via email prior to their visit. Please contact Paula Consiglio on fundamental@imperial.ac.uk if you need any further information.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
