Electrical Engineering: "Behind the scenes at CERN: How electrical engineering makes particle physics possible." The lecture will begin with a brief overview of the history and the most important discoveries made at CERN over the last seven decades. Electrical engineering plays an essential role in making the experiments at CERN possible. Prof. Dr. Ursula van Rienen explains how electric and magnetic fields are used to accelerate and guide particles. You will learn about the technical challenges involved and how these are overcome. The lecture offers you an exciting look behind the scenes of one of the largest research centers in the world. You can ask your questions and talk to the experts. The lecture will be followed by a discussion.

Registration is not required. Participation is free of charge.
