25. 09. 2024
From Monday, September 9 to Friday, September 13, 2024, 30 fans of nuclear and particle physics among high school students gathered at the seminar "Particle Prague 2024". The event was organized mainly by the staff of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics (Charles University), the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering (CTU), the Nuclear Physics Institute (CAS) and the Institute of Physics (CAS).
Participants from all over the country listened to interesting lectures and visited laboratories where they saw a number of experimental facilities. Together they built a fog chamber for cosmic ray detection.
On Wednesday, September 11, they spent the morning on an excursion to the Nuclear Physics Institute. They visited the Tandetron and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) laboratories, the TR24 cyclotron and the fast neutron generators. Two participants arrived in Řež on the two previous afternoons. They calculated the velocities of the ions accelerated for the AMS measurements. They then presented the results of their mini-project to the other participants on Friday.
