Workshop presented by: CERN

Languages: French and English

CERN uses thousands of magnets for particle physics experiments. For example, powerful electromagnets are used to bend the trajectory of protons in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Powerful permanent magnets are also used in particle physics research, for example inside the AMS particle detector attached to the International Space Station.

In this workshop, participants are invited to tackle a series of magnet-related challenges. They explore the properties of different permanent magnets, build their own small electromagnet and learn why magnets are important at CERN. CERN
