IRIS project – Visit to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories (RAL), Oxford
A small group of Year 12 students has been participating in a challenging research project called the Big Data: ATLAS. The ATLAS detector is used by physicists to observe the results of proton-proton collisions in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, the largest collider of its type in the world. Big Data: ATLAS introduces students to the techniques used to analyse ATLAS data, giving them the chance to explore their own questions in particle physics. Students learn analytical…
