Over 3,500 high school students from all over Italy are taking part in the International Masterclasses on physics this year. Born in 2005, for 20 years the Masterclasses have taken thousands of students from all over the world on a journey to discover the infinitely small and experimental research in this field.
In Bologna, 4 events are planned to be held from 11 to 14 March organized by the INFN Section of Bologna in collaboration with the University of Bologna and the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of Bologna. During these days, more than 100 young students, simultaneously with their peers from other Italian campuses or other countries around the world, will be able to gain direct experience of how scientific research in large laboratories works, analyzing data from some experiments at CERN in Geneva, and discovering how particle physics can help medicine.
The program is:
- On Tuesday 11 March: the analysis of the data collected by the ATLAS experiment
- On Wednesday 12 March: the analysis of the data from the LHCb experiment
- On Thursday 13 March: the analysis of the data from the National Center for Oncological Hadron therapy, CNAO
- On Friday 14 March: the analysis of the data from the ALICE experiment
