AEC Particle Trail
Information on each particle in the Standard Model
The Standard Model of Particle Physics describes all elementary particles and forces in Nature. The particle trail presents all particles through physical plates. These were located along the railing of the Grosse Schanze during September and October 2022 in the context of the Nacht der Forschung 2022. Since September 2024, they have again been deployed along the railing of the Grosse Schanze, in the context of the celebrations around the 70-year anniversary of CERN.

On this page, you can find information for each particle.
You find links to all the particles below the project plate explaining the concept:
This project is an AEC collaboration between people in the ITP and LHEP.
Main responsibilites go to Laura Franconi, Lea Halser, Frederic Noël and Michele Weber.
