Brian Thorsbro: from science fiction to scientific data
Brian Thorsbro: from science fiction to scientific data Hi, I am Brian Thorsbro and I am a summer student at CERN year 2014. I work at the Alice experiment and my work involves Monte Carlo simulations of particle collisions. Most Monte Carlo generators export the generated data to the format called HepMC and my task

A summer to remember
A summer to remember Arriving at CERN I was nervous and excited I had no idea what to expect. My main reason for applying to CERN was to meet students from all over the world who were just as excited to be here as i was. So I was delighted to find within my first

Antimatter Event with Rolf Landua: Everything you wanted to ask.
Antimatter Event with Rolf Landua: Everything you wanted to ask. Shortly after Dirac’s prediction, the first antiparticle was discovered in 1932. Since then, antimatter has been largely studied and produced in many experiments in order to help unrevealing the mysteries of the Universe. Antimatter has also reached the general public through science fiction, especially through
