CERN – a bit of history
 CERN was founded 1954
 Aim: to facilitate basic science in Europe
 Founding fathers Louis de Broglie, Niels Bohr,
Isidor Rabi, and many others

 Finnish researchers participate in CERN
experiments from 1960-70’s onwards. Finland
becomes a CERN memberstate 1991.
 20 European member states: Austria, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Czech, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom
 2010: from European to World-wide Lab

 CERN staff ~3000 persons: physicists, engineers, technicians,
administrators, fire brigaders, etc.
 CERN Users: some 10000 visiting scientists (half of particle
physicists worldwide) from 580 universities, 85 nationalities.

Current leading edge research: experiments at LHC
 LHC – Large Hadron Collider –started operation 2009 – world-record
proton-proton collider
 Basic science: particle physics
 Tools needed:
 Very advanced accelerator physics – 3.5 TeV
beams of 20 mm size, beam total energy ~20
MJ (now), 1232 1.9K double-dipole magnets at
5T (now), ultra-high vacuum
 Very advanced detectors with O(100M ) readout
channels, fast data acquisition 7 MHz (now)
 Very advanced data processing – World Wide
LHC Computing Grid

ATLAS and CMS, general purpose experiments
 Research target is ”everything”: search for new particles/phenomena,
high-precision measurements of know particles/phenomena
 Many different kinds of detectors, many (O(100M)) electronic channels
 Large so-called dynamic range: measure energies and momenta
O(100 MeV)  several TeV. Large solid angle coverage.
 Position resolution O(10 mm), diameter 10-25 m, length 25-40 m

Next generation: linear colliders
 CLIC – Compact Linear Collider (40 km?)
 R&D already ongoing – will require new solutions from
many fields:
 For
example coating of radiofrequency cavities – basic
material science – research project at HIP (K. Nordlund, F.
Djurabekova et al
Plus...there will be many smaller scale
experiments in other fields requiring also
innovative solutions...
 Currently HIP involvement in ISOLDE (nuclear ph.),
CLOUD (atmospheric+particle ph.)

Research training opportunities
 Main options:
 Possibilities
offered by CERN directly
https://ert.cern.ch/browse_www/wd_pds?p_web_site_id=1
 Possibilities
offered through Finnish involvement at CERN –
Helsinki Institute of Physics (HIP) is coordinating Finnish
CERN activities
http://www.hip.fi
 (...and
of course one can also enroll in non-Finnish
universities/institutes engaged at CERN research)
